The most beautiful building in Rhode Island reflected in the gray windows of the ugliest building in Rhode Island, suggesting a genuinely scary proximity. (designxri.tumblr.com)
GTECH headquarters is certainly the scariest building in Providence, even with the recent relocation there of Capital Grille (from Union Station!), following in the brave footsteps of Ruth’s Chris Steak House. But GTECH is not haunted. It is scary. Not the same difference. As it is Halloween, let me post “The 7 craziest, scariest most extreme haunted attractions in America.” Yes, I think GTECH should be in there. It is not. I have not looked at all of the videos. I cannot vouch for the quality of their hauntedness, but they did make it into this collection. So here it is. Frighten yourself. Have fun.

About David Brussat
This blog was begun in 2009 as a feature of the Providence Journal, where I was on the editorial board and wrote a weekly column of architecture criticism for three decades. Architecture Here and There fights the style wars for classical architecture and against modern architecture, no holds barred.
History Press asked me to write and in August 2017 published my first book, "Lost Providence." I am now writing my second book.
My freelance writing on architecture and other topics addresses issues of design and culture locally and globally.
I am a member of the board of the New England chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, which bestowed an Arthur Ross Award on me in 2002.
I work from Providence, R.I., where I live with my wife Victoria, my son Billy and our cat Gato.
If you would like to employ my writing and editing to improve your work, please email me at my consultancy, dbrussat@gmail.com, or call 401.351.0457.
Testimonial: "Your work is so wonderful - you now enter my mind and write what I
would have written."
