Textron Tower

The Textron Tower, formerly the Old Stone Tower, is a modern skyscraper in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. It is the world headquarters of Textron. At 311 ft, the Textron Tower stands as the 5th-tallest building in the city and the state.

Architecture
The Textron Tower was designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, architects of the Empire State Building. The structure is set back some from the building line and raised above the street on a podium. The first story is marbled sheathed and serves as a base for the concrete-grid curtain wall. The building features deep reveals attached to a reinforced concrete frame and is clad with deeply exposed aggregate precast panels.

The structure was included in a 2020 Business Insider article entitled The ugliest skyscraper in every state.
