Old houses of worship

If you go north on Bellevue Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island, past the

mansions, past the International Tennis Hall of Fame, you will continue to

Touro Street, where the oldest syanagogue in the US is there; and stil open

for services since 1658.

President JFK visited the synagogue less than two months before his life

was cut short.

Newport also has the first US Naval Headquarters, though the sign outside

the building now says "Bingo on Sundays."

A lot of photographic opportunities abound.<div></div>

We visited there on a trip to Rhode Island.

Nicely photographed -- thanks, Vic.

<p>Why thank you Bill :-) Here are a couple more of my old B&Ws from an old place of worship (Quarr Abbey in the Isle of Wight, England. A Benedictine monastery) this time with Bessa R3A and Summicron 50/2 (the other B&W ones earlier were Contax/Zeiss SLR and Contax T2 P&S respectively).....</p>
