This tiny building is in front of an apartment building on Smithfield Rd. in North Providence, right on the border with Providence. I've driven by it a bunch of times, since I live very close to here, but never bothered to stop. I wasn't surprised that it was locked, but I was pleasantly surprised that I could look inside and get pictures.
I called St. Anthony Church in North Providence to ask about it, and they say that it's not affiliated with them. Apparently some people from the neighborhood simply have a devotion to St. Anthony, and got together a while back to build it. Presumably somebody is still taking care of the place, or at least has a key to unlock it. If anyone knows more I'd love to hear about it in the comments.
