Title
Rhode Island State House, Government Offices
Description
The railroad yard and parking lots that separated Providence's downtown from the Capital Center were locally referred to as a "Chinese wall." This 1983 view shows how the government offices were isolated from the rest of Providence by both these elements and Interstate 95 to the west.
