The Wedding Cake House was built in 1867 and was last fully occupied by the famous Tirocchi sisters dressmakers (1915-1947) and the Tirocchi family. The house fell into disrepair and was abandoned sometime in the 1990's till 2016. Dirt Palace Public Projects (a local feminist arts not-for-profit) began renovating the house in 2016 to serve as a project based Artist Residency Facility that is supported by short term rentals of people visiting Providence. King bed with a couch that can be folded down & made into an additional bed upon request. 1 private bath with tub. This room (#3) overlooks the lawn. It is on the 2nd floor. This room features a private bathroom. There's a king bed, as well as a couch bed that can be used for an additional guest. Please let us know if you require this to be set up as a bed, and we'll prepare it before your arrival. Guests who are interested in breakfast can fill out a breakfast form the night before to receive a light “continental-ish” breakfast between 7:30am - 10:30am. Depending on guests’ preference, breakfast may be delivered to your room, the dining room, or the outside patio at guests’ selected time. Your stay at the Wedding Cake House helps us to support the creation of new artistic works in Providence, for which we are deeply grateful. From local Historian Taylor Polites: “The first owner John Kendrick was an inventor whose American Supply Company dominated the global market in loom and reed harnesses, a crucial element of textile mill power looms. The c. 1867 mansion attributed to Broadway architect Perez Mason reflects the euphoric froth of new money. For a while owned by railway and button-fastener tycoon George Prentice, in 1915, the house was purchased by Italian immigrant dressmaker Anna Tirocchi. In the elegant salons of the Wedding Cake House, Anna and her sister Laura fitted Providence’s elite in their couture creations that echoed Paris fashions. At Anna’s death in 1947, everything was wrapped in tissue paper and put away. Some forty years later, RISD Museum curators were stunned as if entering a fashion time capsule when Laura’s son invited them into the house to catalog and preserve the collection.” The house was renovated between 2016 and 2020 by hundreds of local artisans, tradespeople, and craftspeople. Traditional and contemporary arts are incorporated into every aspect of the house, often in dialogue with the history of the site. Textiles from the Tirocchi collection provided inspiration for wall papers hand printed down the street by local artists. Central questions of the project are “what can the role of artists be in constructing contemporary understandings and interpretations of history?” and “What roles can artists play in various aspects of repair?”. Our goal is to serve guests with interests in the arts and regional history, who want to support contemporary practices through their travel budgets.
Wonderful stay at the Wedding Cake House! this was my 2nd time staying there- this time in the red room, which was every bit as charming as the purple room where I first stayed. Service and hospitality was on point, witna friendly welcome and accommodations made for heating preferences. Lobe the included breakfast - coffee is delicious! Also love this neighborhood for its charming historic Victorian homes and walkability. Good restaurants all around and some fun little shops. Highly recommend! Thank you, Xander & Pippi. :)
Wir waren als kleine 3-köpfige Familie bei Pipi und Xander. Wir haben uns schnell aufgenommen gefühlt. Das Zimmer war sehr gemütlich und sauber. Die Unterkunft war wunderschön! danke für diesen tollen Urlaub!
The Wedding Cake House is located on Broadway in the Federal Hill neighborhood of Providence and on the border of the West End neighborhood. This is a diverse urban area that is mixed culturally, racially, and socio-economically. The Federal Hill Neighborhood has been an enclave of Providence's Italian American community and is noted for its abundance of Italian restaurants, markets, and cultural establishments, which are clustered around Atwells Avenue, a street that runs parallel to Broadway to the north.
There’s lots of stuff super close by within walking distance.
Here is a list that just scratches the surface! No omissions made on purpose! Too many great locations to list! If you want any recommendations let us know because there are plenty of places close-by but maybe only a short drive away that didn’t make the list!
Coffee Shops
All these spots are great - try a different one each day
Seven Stars bakery - 342 Broadway
about a 5 minute walk down Broadway towards downtown. Coffee, bread, pastries, sandwiches. No wifi to discourage people setting up an out of home office - but plenty of tables.
Dash Bicycles/Nitro bar - 230 Broadway
Just a little further down the street. Combo coffee shop and bike shop. Cold brew on tap, some fancy tea drinks, pastries, snacks and sandwiches. Not a lot of indoor seating
White Electric - 711 Westminster Street
A little farther away on Westminster. 15 - 20 minute walk. Coffee, bagels, pastries, sandwiches. Has wifi. Great place to set up and do some work if you can get a table
Restaurants
There’s too many restaurants nearby to list! We stuck to Broadway and Westminster. Also in walking distance are all the restaurants on Federal Hill (Atwell’s Avenue) that aren’t listed here. If you are looking for a particular cuisine, let us know. Providence has so many different types of restaurants and we’re really limiting this list by location. Not all restaurants have inside dining right now - or are only doing so with reservations - so check ahead. All of these restaurants are currently doing take-out.
Nicks on Broadway - 500 Broadway
Literally next door. Does both brunch and dinner Thursday - Saturday
Crepe Corner - 1577 Westminster St. One block away down Bainbridge. Crepe and Waffle place for breakfast/lunch. Vegan and GF options. POC owned.
Vino Veritas - 486 Broadway
One block away. Italian food/ full bar
Julians - 318 Broadway
Brunch, lunch, dinner, craft beer and cocktails. Great for vegans and meat lovers. Weekend brunch will be a wait if you don’t get there early
Broadway Bistro - 205 Broadway
Upscale dining in a casual atmosphere, great reputation
The Grange - 166 Broadway
An all vegetarian and vegan restaurant with craft cocktails. Brunch, lunch and dinner
La Lupita - Olneyville Square (technically 1950 Westminster)

New York System - Olneyville Square (technically 18 Plainfield St)
Famous for wieners all the way, mouse traps (grilled cheese), David Byrne & more. Late night you can order through their to-go window. Classic RI fare & legendary spot. A fun place to go late night and people watch (whoa! do people go there DRUNK!...also! a fun place to go, if you happen to be drunk)
Mi Ranchito - 1516 Westminster Street
Super close! Guatemalan restaurant that has great breakfast/brunch and dinner
West Side Diner - 1380 Westminster
Traditional greasy spoon diner. Open for breakfast and lunch.
Pizza J - 967 Westminster Street

Nice Slice - 767 Westminster
“NY style” thin crust pizza. Sells both slices and full pies. Also can get pies made with vegan meats and cheese.
If you’re up for a short drive here are some more suggestions. Cambodian food is a RI secret treasure, We recommend Apsara at 716 Public Street. Los Andes is Peruvian food that has amazing seafood and meat. It’s located at 903 chalkstone. We recommend getting there early if you don’t want to wait for a table because this place is popping. AS220 is a multi-use art space downtown with a bar and restaurant and live music every night at 115 Empire Street. It has great food for vegans, vegetarians as well as meat eaters and can be a good place to check out, and also to figure out what else might be going in town. For beer lovers, a block away from AS220, Trinity Brew House is a pub/brewhouse who makes their own beer. North restaurant currently in the Dean Hotel downtown is one of our favorite spots (used to be in the neighborhood and moved downtown) .
Parking
The driveway/entry to the parking lot is behind the house on Tobey Street.
Off street parking is limited. We can likely not accommodate more than one vehicle per room. Guests letting us know if they will be driving is helpful for us in accommodating other guests!
Getting Around Providence
There is a bus stop directly in front of the Wedding Cake House. RIPTA’s 27 & 28 line goes to Kennedy Plaza downtown where transfers can be made. Regular bus fare is $2 and transfers $1.
The Wedding Cake House is about a mile from Downtown Providence (20 min walk) and about 1.8 miles from RISD campus (30 min walk). There are various bike rental situations that change too fast to keep up with.
