Westminster Arcade is a historic shopping center in Providence, Rhode Island built in 1828. It is notable as the first enclosed shopping mall in the United States and has been lauded as a fine example of commercial Greek Revival architecture. It served as a shopping center for many years before falling into decline in the late 20th century. It has since been closed for renovation and rehabilitation several times, and most recently reopened its doors in October 2013 as a residential and commercial mixed-use building. At the time of the Arcade's opening, there were few retail stores on the west side of the Providence River; most shopping was located on the east side or Cheapside district. It was slow to attract customers and was known as "Butler's Folly" for many years because of its distance from the retail districts. This changed when a fashionable hat shop opened next door which attracted wealthy female customers to the neighborhood. After that, Westminster Street and downtown developed into a major shopping area. The Arcade was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976, and is located at 130 Westminster Street and 65 Weybosset Street in downtown Providence.
