Spending some time on the front porch isn’t always a leisurely activity.

Construction is underway on another stage of the Providence Academy renovation, replacing the first-floor porch and installing columns that will support upper-level balconies directly above.

The location, near the front entrance and facing Evergreen Boulevard, offers a better showcase for the work than some previous parts of the project.
