Turk's Head Building, Early 20th century skyscraper in Providence, United States
The Turk's Head Building rises 16 floors with a V-shaped design at the intersection of Westminster and Weybosset Streets in downtown Providence.
Constructed in 1913 by architectural firm Howells & Stokes, this office building remained the tallest structure in Providence until 1922.
A stone replica of an Ottoman warrior figurehead, originally from a local shop, decorates the third floor facade of the building.
The building underwent a $3 million renovation in 1997 and maintains office spaces for law firms, investment companies, and other businesses.
The structure features a wedge-shaped corner design similar to New York's Flatiron Building, creating a commanding presence at its downtown intersection.
