Demolition crew uncovers hidden vault at Rhode Island State House

Faded lettering on door says ‘State Returning Board’ but what’s behind it remains a mystery
By Mark Reynolds
Journal Staff Writer

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — At first, an original concrete wall was all that contractors could see as they ripped away 1970s era paneling, piece by piece, in a basement office at the State House.

But then the demolition crew exposed some heavy black steel. It was a door.

A vault door.

And so late on Thursday, the foreman had some news for Frank A. Montanaro, the General Assembly’s legislative services director who has been marshaling renovation work in the building’s basement.

“It’s another artifact,” says Montanaro, who relishes such discoveries.

The faded lettering on the door of the vault, says “State Returning Board.”

Safes are often left with the default combinations.  Trying the common defaults would be the first step, if registration records from the company aren't available.
