Owen Building

The historic renovation and rehabilitation of this century-old landmark office building trumpeted the transformation of an entire section of the downtown financial district when it was undertaken nearly three decades ago.

Today, this five-story mansard-roof building with its cast iron storefronts and prime location along the river dividing downtown from the city's east side, serves as a model for historic reclamation done correctly. It is perhaps most recognizable as home to Capriccio, Providence's famous icon for sophisticated, white linen dining.
