    Notes:  The four-story Dreyfus Hotel opened in 1890, on the corner of Mathewson and Washington streets in Providence, Rhode Island. In 1917, it was expanded to about 50 rooms, with 25 private baths. The Dreyfus, with its restaurant and bar, was a popular hotel for traveling salesmen. From the time it opened until at least 1942, it was operated by various members of the Dreyfus family.
    Around 1974 the Dreyfus Hotel closed, and the building was sold to Johnson & Wales University for use as a dorm. The dorm closed in 2000. In April 2005, the building was purchased by the nonprofit community arts organization,
