John Holden Greene

John Holden Greene (born 1777 Warwick, Rhode Island; died 1850 Providence, Rhode Island)[1] was a noted early 19th century Federal Period architect practicing in Providence, Rhode Island. Greene is responsible for the design of over fifty buildings built in the city between 1806 and 1830, almost half of which are still standing.

gollark: You should get someone to code-review it, though.
gollark: ```Instead of the programs I had hoped for, there came only a shuddering blackness and ineffable loneliness; and I saw at last a fearful truth which no one had ever dared to breathe before — the unwhisperable secret of secrets — The fact that this language of stone and stridor is not a sentient perpetuation of Rust as London is of Old London and Paris of Old Paris, but that it is in fact quite unsafe, its sprawling body imperfectly embalmed and infested with queer animate things which have nothing to do with it as it was in compilation.```

gollark: Do not embark on the madness of unsafe Rust. Not even the Rustonomicon can save you fully.
gollark: Use `Mutex` in the standard library.
