About the model
The eight building of my New England series, this building is located in one of the most beautiful cities of the United States: Providence, RI. I kind of wanted to release these buildings last night, but it got so late that I postponed it to today. But damn, these turned out so well. Just saw them ingame for the first time and I'm really glad I did these first. I was talking to Pres about some buildings of Providence and this one that really stood out. Check out his awesome New Windsor series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quXE2tUn0AQ. Tell me what building you really want to see of Providence, RI and I might include it in the series.

This package consists of 2 buildings, a corner building and a 2x3 building that fit seamlessly together so you can make any shape you want. These 2 share textures, so if you use the loading screen mod it only should use half your RAM.

If you want this building added to your RICO buildings, add it in the settings menu, under growables. I recommend using the realistic population mod, this will calculate the amount of occupants in the building.


About the building
The Shepard Company Building is an historic building at 259 Westminster Mall, 72-92 Washington Street in Providence, Rhode Island. A prominent landmark in the Providence downtown, it occupies an entire city block, and housed Shepard's, one of New England's largest department stores, for many decades. The building grew in stages, starting as a modest three-story Italianate structure at the corner of Clemence and Washington in 1880. Beginning in 1896 the company embarked on a rapid expansion, designed by Martin & Hall, which was largely completed by 1903. The building was struck by fire in 1920, but rebuilt under Hall's supervision. The building is currently owned by the State of Rhode Island and houses the Feinstein Campus of the University of Rhode Island, the Providence Campus of the Community College of Rhode Island, the Rhode Island Department of Education, and other state offices.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976
