Gorgeous Victorian across from Julian’s Restaurant, vacant for at least 5 years now and slowly falling into disrepair. Some boarded and broken windows on several floors.

No windows left, totally boarded up. A banner on the side of the building states that live/work condos are “coming in 2004″, but a worker at the body shop behind the building says “It’s been like this for 15-20 years!”. Property card # 032-0050-0000

Not even a nearby Whole Foods can save it. Recently torched, property records say it was owner-occupied (at least partially), but what’s going on here? Insurance company not coming through on funds? Owner actually out of town? No signs of foreclosure.

Aside from the front facade, it looks to be a total loss. Nothing left of the second floor, and I suspect, the first. Might have been a neat place.

No way to tell now.

And why are there so many abandoned, fire damaged homes across the city of Providence? Was there no homeowners insurance?
