Downtown Providence in the Twentieth Century

The twentieth century can truly be said to have
been America's century. As the nation reached
the position of world leader, her towns and cities
changed at an unprecedented pace.
With the approach to the millennium, the topic
of change is on everyone's mind--how our
communities and lifestyles have changed over the
past century, and how we can endeavor to preserve
the past while facing the future in which the world
seems to change ever faster.
