In the 1980s, Newport Historical Society staff began the "Neighborhoods of Newport" oral history project, which recorded the personal reminiscences of Newport locals who resided in each of the city's six major neighborhoods: Bellevue Avenue/Ocean Drive; Broadway /West Broadway; The Fifth Ward; Historic Hill; Kay Street/ Catherine Street/Old Beach Road; The Point.
In this interview, Esther Lord of 39 Second Street talks about local activities growing up in Newport, World War II and its effect on Newport, and reconstruction and redevelopment around town.
The digitization of this collection in 2023 was made possible through a generous donation by the Todd and Lisa Stuart Foundation.
