New to our collection. This photo postcard of the Fort Adams bandstand. While we don't know the date, the band is most likely the 7th Coastal Artillery Corps Band under the direction of John T. Freeman.

Julia Bradley was a Newport socialite. Her family owned Sea View Terrace (the exterior of Collinwood Mansion in the original Dark Shadows.)
On a date she joined the Newport Casino Orchestra and performed a violin solo, borrowing the conductor's violin!
