The building that housed the Duck and Bunny in Fox Point has been demolished. 

The Duck and Bunny was a local — and national favorite — since it emerged on the scene, with cupcakes, crepes, cocktails, and more in a cozy, stylish converted Colonial house.

The structure at 312 Wickenden Street — which the City of Providence says was built in 1900, according to tax assessor records (below), was nearly completely torn down on Saturday.

In 2019, the Duck and Bunny announced it would be closing for “major renovations” — and in July 2020 said it would be taking an extended hiatus due to coronavirus, staying the following:

The Duck & Bunny will be closed until further notice as we deal with the current health and economic climate. This includes our auxiliary space in Pawtucket. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Our goal is still to raise enough money to reopen our Wickenden Street location in 2021. 

Peace and love to all. Please be safe and nice to one another. This too shall pass. 

The Duck and Bunny did not respond to request for comment on the demolition on Saturday.

In 2014 Elyse Major, Rhode Island crafts author and home decor writer, recommended Duck & Bunny to Country Living's State Secret online series.

That feature on Country Living can be seen here.

GoLocal LIVE featured the popular establishment in 2018.
