Turk's Head
One of Providence's most famous legends relates that Jacob Whitman, owner of the house that stood on this site in the mid-eighteenth century, had a carving of a Turk on his front porch.
Since then this corner has been known as Turks Head. When the present office building was erected in place of an 1850 commercial block on the site, a large-scale head of a glaring Turk was included in the design in reference to this legend.
The story may have some truth to it: there is a carving of a Turk's head in the collection of the Rhode Island Historical Society, which is supposed to be the very one from Whitman's front porch. - from wiki
