The Providence Athenaeum, c. 1958

The Providence Athenaeum was founded in 1753 in Providence, Rhode Island, as a member-supported library. Famous for its associations with Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft, it continues to serve as a library and meeting place for its members and the public at large.
