{"product_id":"westminster-arcade-janet-mansfield-soares-9781467145244","title":"The Westminster Arcade","description":"The stately Westminster Arcade was built in 1828, and this landmark building has been a part of Providence ever since. Now known as the Arcade Providence, it is the oldest surviving shopping mall in the United States, and it was recognized from the beginning as an innovative and beautiful structure. It has survived near-demolition, fires, hurricanes, consumer trends, city planners and commercial developers. Within its walls are fascinating stories of the people who made their livelihood between its double fa軋des. Through archival records, interviews and personal accounts, author Janet Mansfield Soares reveals the challenges faced by its tenants from its beginnings as a competitor to Cheapside to its many transformations that mirror Providence's own volatile history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Mansfield Soares\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467145246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467145244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.80w x 0.40d","brand":"Janet Mansfield Soares","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983249113343,"sku":"9781467145244","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81e0d143-44c7-4b0b-9965-61d282e551a3.jpg?v=1683265524","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/westminster-arcade-janet-mansfield-soares-9781467145244","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
