John Holden Greene

John Holden Greene (1777-1850) was a noted early nineteenth century architect practicing in Providence, Rhode Island.

[1] 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.

[1] The distinctive early nineteenth century Federal architecture of the city is largely attributed to Greene and his apprentices.

[7] Architects Albert Harkness, Wallis Eastburn Howe and the firm of Jackson, Robertson & Adams were also responsible for many houses and other buildings in the style.

[1] Much later, the architect Friedrich St. Florian referenced Greene's work in his design of a Postmodern house for Richard E. Edwards on Prospect Street in Providence, built in 1980-82.

[8] At least four buildings attributed to Greene have been listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places.
