Exchange Place in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1909 sat at the heart of a city that had grown into one of New England's major manufacturing centers. Jewelry makers and textile mills employed many of its residents, and the population had passed 200,000 by the close of the first decade of the century. Union Station, opened in 1898 nearby, made the square a busy transfer point for railroad travelers, while electric streetcars carried workers and shoppers along lines that converged downtown. Providence took pride in its reputation as the "Jewelry City," and the city hall and the banks and offices around the square reflected a civic life closely tied to commerce.
