I’m in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, for a project I’ll discuss in the future, someday, and came across the National Register listed Toole Building yesterday. The bottom three floors were built in 1892; the top two in 1922. My compliments to the architect and mason in 1922: that’s an excellent imitation of the older style.
The lot reflects the curve of the street, and the front facade is built out to the lot line. Making a non-planar facade like this is difficult in both design and construction, and it was done quite well here, twice, thirty years apart.
