Meyer Building
Description
A substantial structure, of conservative Colonial Revival design. Its only ornament of any significance is the Palladian Window in the center pavilion, with a delicate fan above. It was designed by Edwin E. Cull of Providence, who also designed the Hospital’s administration offices in the same year.

Pages 15 & 19, Rhode Island: State-Owned Historic Properties (Rhode Island Historical Preservation Commission, 1989) PDF version available at https://www.preservation.ri.gov/survey/publications.php Note: The survey book actually attributes the building to the partnership of Cull & Robinson. However, that firm was not formed until 1946, so it had to have been designed by Cull working independently.
