Description

The Turk's Head Building is a 16-story office high-rise in Providence, Rhode Island. When completed in 1913, the Turk's Head Building surpassed the 1901 Union Trust Company Building to become the tallest building in downtown (the Rhode Island State House is taller and was finished in 1904). The building retained that title until 1922, when the Providence Biltmore was completed. The building is one of the oldest skyscrapers in Providence. Standing 215 ft (66 m) tall, it is currently the 11th-tallest building in Providence

A tall, curved building stands at a deserted street corner, illuminated by streetlights and surrounded by a misty atmosphere. The wet pavement reflects the lights, adding to the serene, almost eerie, nighttime mood.
