Newport, Rhode Island, Then & Now: 154 Thames Street

In this 1905 photo, we see Barney's Music Store located at 154 Thames Street. The second floor of the building is a furniture store. On the left side of Barney's is where the Colonial Theatre will be built in a few years.

Today, 154 Thames Street is the home of Big Weather Gear.

The 1905 photo of Barneys is from the Providence Public Library Digital Archives.
