Hope Block and Cheapside
United States historic placeHope Block and Cheapside are two historic commercial buildings located at 22-26 and 40 North Main Street in the College Hill neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island. The Hope Block was built in 1869 in the Second Empire style. It was probably designed by Clifton A. Hall, who designed a nearly identical building the year before. The Cheapside Block was built in 1880 and designed by architects Stone & Carpenter. They are the only two buildings to survive from the 1860s-70s development of the "Cheapside" area of Providence, north of the site of its colonial marketplace.
