Marion Carry Oral History Interview: March 17, 1984

In the 1980s, Newport Historical Society staff began the "Neighborhoods of Newport" oral history project, which recorded the personal reminiscences of Newport locals who resided in each of the city's six major neighborhoods: Bellevue Avenue/Ocean Drive; Broadway /West Broadway; The Fifth Ward; Historic Hill; Kay Street/ Catherine Street/Old Beach Road; The Point.

Marion Carry was the Director of the Newport Art Association for over 50 years. In this interview, she discusses her art training at the Rhode Island School of Design, her work on torpedo blueprints during WWII, her students at the Art Association (including the daughters of John Russell Pope, architect), and her bootlegger neighbor during Prohibition.

The digitization of this collection in 2023 was made possible through a generous donation by the Todd and Lisa Stuart Foundation.
