PROVIDENCE – The conversion of three former industrial buildings in Providence to apartments will receive state Historic Preservation Tax Credits, the state announced Wednesday.
The former Providence Dyeing, Bleaching and Calendaring Company, at 50 Valley St., will receive $244,200 in state tax credits. The project, completed in late December by The Armory Revival Co., converted three attached, two-story structures into 14 apartments.
The project was once a part of the larger Calender Mills renovation, which came before the state’s Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission several years ago. That project later was redefined to focus on a commercial conversion for a portion of the site, now occupied by the United Way of Rhode Island.
The latest project was put forward by Riverfront Apartments LLC, according to the state’s project description.
Exterior improvements to the three buildings, completed by a previous owner, included a new roof, repaired soffits and trim, and new aluminum windows and entrance doors.
Interior improvements included a new concrete floor, masonry cleaning and repointing, completion of the apartments, installation of canopies for the building entrances, landscaping and restoration of historic wood doors.
The project was completed in December and the apartments have since all been occupied, according to Mark Van Noppen, managing director of The Armory Revival Co.
