Synopsis

In the three-hundred-fifty-plus years that Newport has existed, it has held a fascination for those who love the sea. Along its narrow streets are nestled the largest collection of preserved eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century dwellings in America. The sailing is spectacular, and the natural harbor is a safe haven for boats. Newport Revisited uses vintage photographs to explore Newport from the 1880s to the 1960s. The book takes the reader on a historic tour to see what people from all parts of the world travel to get a taste of, such as the amazing mansions and the natural beauty of this unique town. Newport Revisited shows the reader the Colony House, Brick Market, and many other exciting sites.
