STATE HOUSE OF RHODE ISLAND

Shannon stands before the State House

Our second stop today was the Capitol of Rhode Island, the Rhode Island State House in Providence. If you watched the Showtime TV series, The Brotherhood, you saw the exterior of this building several times. Tommy Caffee was a member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives in that series.

Construction of the State House started in 1895 and was completed in 1904. It underwent a major renovation about twenty years ago. It houses the offices of the Governor, Lieutenent Governor, Secretary of State, and General Treasurer of the State of Rhode Island. The chamber of the Rhode Island Senate is located in the east wing while the Chamber of the Rhode Island House of Representatatives is in the west wing.

It's Saturday so Tommy Caffee isn't taking a bribe from Freddy Cork.
