Main Street, Newport, Yaquina Bay - c. 1890

This view was captured about a decade after Newport was incorporated in 1882, at about the time Lincoln County was created in 1893. Before that, Newport was in Benton County.

As there is no longer a Main Street in Newport, we're assuming this view is along what is now known as SE Bay Blvd., perhaps near Fall Street, looking towards the mouth of the bay. In any event, it's a very early view. Note the steam and sailing ship anchored in the lower left corner, and shown in detail view 2.
