Unlike most church steeples, note that St. Paul's steeple is
built up stone by stone.
It's a very unusual architectural feature. Also unlike most other Newport
churches,
St. Paul's steeple hasn't been blown down by high winds.

"The President of the Newport Scientific Association has been sent from Atlanta, Ga., very scientifically wrought pint flask. It looks like a silk handkerchief when in hand and held at the nose. At the mouth is a sucking apparatus by which a big swill can be taken at one suck. It can even be used in church without detection." from the Kentucky State Journal, June 16, 1887 |
