GE Base Plant Royalty-Free Stock Image

The General Electric Providence Base Plant building, which at one time produced more incandescent light bulb bases than any factory in the world, is pegged for demolition by its owner to the dismay of preservationists and neighbors. Built between 1916 and 1918, the Base Plant doesn’t stand out visually, its facade rising two boxy stories set back from the street at 586 Atwells Ave. It’s been vacant since 2000. (pbn.com)
