About the project
The Sharpe Building, built in 1872, boasted the world’s largest tool factory at the turn of the 20th century. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003, and is in the process of being beautifully restored.

The Foundry’s Sharpe Building was the site of the Providence Preservation Society’s 2007 Winter Bash — of which Alpha Omega Construction was a sponsor — showcasing the remarkable preservation of this building.
