The Sister Dominica Manor

The Sister Dominica Manor is a residential skyscraper with 16 floors and a height of 175 feet (53 meters) in Federal Hill, Providence. The building houses a senior living community and ranks among the taller residential structures in the city.

The building was constructed in 1966 and originally called Bradford House. It was one of three residential projects by Rhode Island Housing designed to address senior housing needs.

The Federal Hill location connects residents to a neighborhood with deep ties to Providence's social and architectural past. Daily life here reflects the area's established character and long-standing community patterns.

The address at 100 Atwells Avenue makes it easy to locate from the street. As a seniors housing facility, the building includes amenities designed for people with varying mobility needs.

Until 2007, this was the tallest exclusively residential building in Providence before Waterplace Towers was built. This former distinction shows how the city's skyline evolved over time.
