This unique two-story commercial building at the corner of Westminster and Snow streets in Downtown Providence is a rare example of a surviving Art Deco style luncheon built in the interwar period in American cities. The building was constructed around 1933 for Gibson’s Incorporated, which was established as a cigar, soda, and candy store, later opening a number of luncheons with soda fountains and food options. For its Downtown location, the company built this handsome structure, with an Art Deco facade with large plate glass windows, ceramic moldings, and painted terra cotta panels. Today, the building is home to Charette Charter High School.
