cmj912 you’re right restoration of Italianate Victorians is extremely costly. Repair to all of that wood trim is “hand work”.

Could there be some sort of easment on the building? I couldn’t imagine this not costing a small fortune to even bring back from the edge – - let alone turn it back into a showplace.

I drive by this place every day on my way home and the deterioration is not all that apparent from the front but from the back and sides its pretty bad. Every time I go by I cross my fingers that no one has gotten inside yet.

That seems low to me, even given location. The lot itself huge for what’s otherwise a fairly densely packed area.

“Listed on loopnet (commercial real estate site) for 385k.”

Shows you the importance of “location”. If this were on the East Side it would be listed at $2,000,000 and probably sold.

There is a for sale sign in front of this house now. They’ve also trimmed/mowed the yard, so it looks presentable. I’ll try to take a photo of it on my way home tonight.

Very interesting information here! Let me add a bit of less interesting but perhaps useful info. Blechman is not the owner, only the trustee. I personally know the current “real” owners of this property. They live out of state and would like nothing more than to see this beautiful property go to someone who has a genuine passion for it. If you know someone who might be interested, or just want to arrange a look inside, contact me

This house is actually has a little bit of local fame. It was the site of the Tirocchi sisters dress shop from the early 1900s until the 1940s. After one of the sisters passed away, it was shut up until the 1990s, when the owner, a doctor (and son in law of one of the sisters) allowed RISD access to all of the dressmaking materials that were still in the house. There is an extensive web site on the history of the place accessible from stg.risd.edu – including a couple of interior shots taken “then” and some “now” – (1999).
From that point, it has sat empty and is in trust. Churchill & Banks had the listing for the sale of the place and a small sign advertising their listing is tacked to a door at the rear. I am not sure if they still have the listing, but you used to be able to find it (and a couple of lovely shots of the interior) by searching the MLS. Officially, this is the George Prentice Mansion and was originally built in the 1880s to house the owner of the Providence Wire Nail Company. Unofficially, it is a spectacular building and I’d give my right arm to be able to save it before it starts really going.
