HISTORY
It was a time of significant growth in Newport. Reflected in the rapid expansion of the working waterfront, workshops, warehouses and docks were built and rebuilt to keep up with the demands of the city’s rising industry. Everything from ice storage, to coal, cordage, manufacturing facilities, small trade shops, boatyards and fishing could be found along the burgeoning waterfront scene. The U.S. Navy, already a major player in the area’s economy, continued to expand its presence. The birth of the Gilded Age brought some of the wealthiest families in the country to Newport; their summer homes (to put it modestly) started springing up along the coast.
