The emblems were painted in DeFelice s studio and then attached to the dome. Last Sunday’s Journal had a story about preparations being made at locations where the Rhode Island General Assembly will meet this year, rather than in the State House. One of those places is Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Providence. In the late 1940s, the auditorium was being prepared, but for its grand opening. The decorations included ceiling paintings of the emblems from all the cities and towns in Rhode Island. The venue underwent major renovations decades later, as did its neighbor, the former Masonic Temple, which is now the Renaissance Providence Downtown Hotel.
