Designed by local architect George Waterman Cady, this handsome six-story commercial block on Weybosset Street in Downtown Providence, is an excellent and well-preserved example of the Romanesque Revival style popular in such structures at the end of the 19th century in New England. The building was constructed in 1894 for owner, George Henry Darling (1827-1897), a Civil War veteran and Principal in T. Curtis & Company, brush makers, as an office building as an investment. The light brick facade is decorated with a two-story columned storefront with large plate glass windows, paired round-head windows on the fifth floor, a heavy modilllon cornice and brownstone trim detail. The building was recently renovated in 2023 and converted into apartments by Paolino Properties.
