This picture pairs two places in Providence, the Westminster Street commercial district and the grounds of a hospital, which suggests a set of views showing the city's downtown alongside its institutions. Westminster Street has long been one of the main east-west thoroughfares of the city's center, where shops, offices, and street traffic gathered, so it offers a view of everyday urban life. Providence, founded in 1636 by Roger Williams, grew into a busy port and manufacturing city, and views like this one capture how its streets and public buildings were arranged during that growth.
