Rhode Island Hospital Trust Building
Description
The Rhode Island Hospital Trust Building is an eleven-story steel-frame building, faced mostly in limestone, with marble at the lowest level. It was designed by the New York City firm of York & Sawyer and built in 1917–1919. The Rhode Island Hospital Trust was a banking institution founded in 1867 to manage the financial affairs of Rhode Island Hospital, founded in 1863. Over time it grew to become a significant local commercial bank, and was acquired by Bank of Boston in 1985.
In 2005, the Rhode Island School of Design purchased the building for $47 Million. The building, rechristened the Roger Mandle Building after a former president of the University, houses RISD's Fleet Library, Portfolio Cafe, and several floors of dormitory space.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
