Photos of Providence from 1976

Found this in my travels (thanks Eltron) and thought I'd share with everyone... great photos of the ghost town that Providence was back in 1976. Some of the architecture is left over from the 50s and 60s... and it is nice to see that some storefronts that were "cleaned up" with 50s stucco or stone, have since been returned to their original splendor (the Citizens on Westminster, near the Turks Head, is a great example of that.)

A long-term project of mine is now to reshoot some of these locations as a before and after. i think some of the photos would be even more striking when placed next to the modern day.
