The Washington Trust Company has provided $2.3 million for construction and permanent financing to Artist Group LLC for renovations to the Harkness Building at 194 Washington St., in the Downcity district of Providence, the company announced Monday.
The building, owned by Arnold B. Chace Jr. and Malcolm and Elizabeth Chace, houses administrative offices of Trinity Repertory Company and the Brown/Trinity Consortium, Trinity’s new graduate program in dramatic arts. The ground floor is leased to Michael and Gracylyn Shine, owners of Gracie’s Restaurant. Cornish Associates, a real estate firm, also has its offices in the building.
