Turks Head Building built in 1913, one of the oldest skyscrapers in Providence.
The figurehead, which came from the ship "Sultan", depicted the head of an Ottoman warrior. Whitman's store was called "At the sign of the Turk's Head". The figurehead vanished in a storm and today a granite replica of the original "Turk head" is found on the belt course between the third and fourth floors.
The historic Turk's Head Building is located in the heart of the Financial District, near Financial Plaza.
