Church House was erected at 122 Fountain St., Providence, in 1912 by the Rev. Frank H. Decker, an Episcopal minister. Can anyone Please tell me what was there previously? A family member, James Frank SLOAN, died at that address in 1908, and I'd like to know if it was a residence, tenement, hotel, or ?? He was the widow of Annie Carr SLOAN who died in 1891. Thank you.

I had access to the 1905, 1907, & 1909 Providence Street Directories. Not sure if this is any help, but thought I'd pass it along to you::

122 Fountain St.
1905- Young Women's Christian Assoc Boarding House. There were about 10 women listed as living there.

1907- vacant

1909- Central Congregational Church House. Thomas Connolly, janitor, was living in the basement.

The houses nearby appeared to be single family and tenement.

Many thanks for going through the effort of checking city directories and posting the reply. You are an angel, Jamm7.
