Description
A striking 1895 George E. Norris lithograph view of Newport, a historic town in Sullivan County, New Hampshire. The view looks on Newport from a fictional highpoint to the south. At center the conjunction of various branches of the Sugar River and the town's urban center. To the northwest of the town center the famous Corbin Covered Bridge (today a replica stands here), is recognizable for its tall narrow frame. Another covered bridge, just south of the Sugar River convergence, passes out of town on Elm (today's Maple) Street. Other Newport landmarks on the map include the Court House, Town Hall, Railroad Depot, First Burying Ground, Phenix Hotel, Newport House, Flannel Mills, Kimball's Machine Shop, and the Newport Union Carriage Factory.
