Newport RI

From the Vault #2

Here are some more Newport RI photos from the vault for your enjoyment!

If you missed the last installment, click here to view From the Vault #1.

The photos in this collection are all from Fort Adams. I'm not sure of the dates on all of these, but some are from the late 1800's.

If you have any photos of Fort Adams or any other good Newport shots (or stories) that you'd like to share, feel free to do so by clicking here.

Fort Adams Hospital (I think)

The Brig back then.....
