The building in the distance, on the hill, is Saint Martins Academy, on a location today occupied by K Mart. You're looking mostly east, a little south.  The building was also known as the Thomas Laurens Jones Mansion. It was built by Mary Keturah Taylor, granddaughter of the founding father of Newport, James Taylor.  It was built in 1853.  When the Taylors passed on, it was sold to the Archdiocese of Covington, and served for years as a home for the Sisters of Divine Providence.  It's also been a school for girls, a convent, a home for working women, and a retirement home for women.  In 1975 it housed Vietnamese refugees.  It was sold in 1976, and razed to make way for K-Mart.
