Description: Watch Hill, RHODE ISLAND - View from Aquidneck Avenue - 1929: Watch Hill is an affluent coastal village and census-designated place in the town of Westerly, Rhode Island. The population was 154 at the 2010 census. It sits at the most-southwestern point in all of Rhode Island. It came to prominence in the late 19th and early 20th century as an exclusive summer resort, with wealthy families building sprawling Victorian-style "cottages" along the peninsula. Watch Hill is characterized by The New York Times as a community "with a strong sense of privacy and of discreetly used wealth," in contrast with "the overpowering castles of the very rich" in nearby Newport. This White Border Era postcard, mailed in 1929, is in good condition. "C.T. American Art." Colored. Curt Teich Co. Chicago.
