The building's exterior façade features in "granite framing green-reflective-glass side elevations". Its location, sandwiched between the One Financial Center and the Industrial National Bank Building, ostensibly detracts from its height with architectural historian William Woodward calling it, "a trifle too low for the site." In company of its two neighbors, however, the building forms part of one of the most identifiable parts of the Providence skyline. This section of the Providence skyline is featured on the animated television series Family Guy.
