As demonstrated here, early post offices could be placed anywhere, and moved sometimes with each election and the patronage therein. This is Col. Egbert and Judge Newman's tobacco store, a couple of hundred feet north of the tower. |
St. Luke
 |
|
| Notorious Newport Club Owner Frank "Screw" Andrews met his death on 12-17-1973, by going out a window at St. Luke. Whether he was a suicide, and had jumped, or whether he was pushed, depends on who you ask. |
St. Luke Hospital, 1958
|
St. Luke's first patient was admitted on July 14, 1954. Ironically, even though the hospital was built to fulfill Campbell County's need for it, the patient, Mrs. Edward Schulte, was from Kenton County. She gave birth to a son, whom she of course named . . . Luke. |

The Highland Theatre opened on August 3, 1927, and seated 750. The first show was Senorita, starring Bebe Daniels. It closed in March of 1979. |
