The Old Stone Mill
A Redwood Library and Athenæum Finding Aid
 
 
 

The small watercolor (at left) depicts the Old Stone Tower in a pastoral setting. While this picture is not an accurate representation of any point in history, the Tower is, in fact, on a hill that, before Newport was built up in colonial times, overlooked fields and the waters of Narragansett Bay. The image is 2 1/4" x 4 15/16" and is undated and unsigned.
