PROVIDENCE – The Providence Preservation Society this week announced that its annual photography showcase of its Most Endangered Properties list will be held at Butterfield, a three-year-old furniture retailer on Westminster Street.
The annual Most Endangered Properties program – which in May announced the properties to be highlighted this year (READ MORE) – was first run during 1994. But it had been shut down for three years before being revived last year.
This year, the properties featured include the partially demolished Grove Street Elementary School, Chalkstone Avenue’s Castle Theatre, downtown’s Teste Building and a former R.I. Department of Transportation headquarters and garage.
This year’s participating artists are Jesse Bouley, Kristin Carlson, Michael Cevoli, Andrew Dernavich, Stephanie Ewens, Adam Hall, Kryzstayna Harber-Caldarone, Scott Lapham, Brian McDonald, Frank Mullin and David Simione.
The exhibit is sponsored by the R.I. State Council on the Arts and the R.I. Council for the Humanities.

Butterfield, opened during 2005 by Rhode Island School of Design alumna Mindy Matouk, is an interior design and custom furniture retail store on Westminster Street. For additional information, visit www.butterfieldprovidence.com.
