Newport RIFrom the Vault #1
I hope you enjoy these Newport RI photos from the vault. I'll try to post more of these as often as I can. It's been both enjoyable and educational looking at these and learning more about Newport's rich history. I'm fortunate to have family members who remember much of this history and have been able to pass it down through the generations with great stories and photos.
I'm not positive, but I think this is the very end of the Newport Cliff Walk at Reject's Beach.
My paternal grandfather, who was an avid swimmer, used to tell me how much he loved swimming and diving at the pool at Easton's Beach. Unfortunately, the Hurricane of 1938 destroyed it (along with the roller coaster), and it was never rebuilt.
The troops gather to watch "Behind the Enemy Front" at the Strand Theater on Washington Square. The Strand was renamed the Jane Pickens Theatre in 1974.
