1892 Replica of the Newport Tower in Worcester, Massachusetts at Institute Park

Stephen Salisbury III's 1892 replica of the Newport Tower in Worcester, MA at Institute Park


     Stephen Salisbury III (founder of the Worcester Art Museum) was fascinated with the Newport Tower, so much so that he commissioned a replica of it to be built in Worcester, MA. It was constructed at Institute Park in 1892 and was torn down in 1956. (these photos are from the 1890's)
