Newport, Ida Lewis Lighthouse

Newport, Ida Lewis Lighthouse

We wanted to know more about a lighthouse named after a person, so we went to Wikipedia to see the story.  Beginning as the Lime Rock Lighthouse, this building served its purpose in one form or another from 1854-1963 and is now the clubhouse of the Ida Lewis Yacht Club.  There was more than one Ida, and they both did their work well.  Unused, undivided back card No. 957 from Hugh C. Leighton Co.  The scan won’t show, but the card was made with some glitter along the shoreline and pier structures.  Grade: 3
