Photographs from Providence, Rhode Island (circa 1950 - 51)

Rhode Island Hospital, Providence, Rhode Island circa 1950 - 51. 

My mother is a retired R.N. She graduated from the Rhode Island Hospital School of Nursing in 1947. While Rhode Island Hospital began its Training School for Nurses in 1882 with 17 students, the Hospital's R.N. program no longer exists. The above photograph of Rhode Island Hospital was recently discovered among my parents' papers and records. The photographer is unknown, but my mother believes the photograph was taken in about 1950 or 1951. 

The photograph above was also taken in 1950 or 1951 and to my mother's recollection it is of a doctors' office building near the Brown University campus. The VW-looking car parked inside the parking lot and beside the wrought iron fence is the Renault 4CV that my parents owned before I was born. The same building taken from a different angle is shown immediately below.
