In Newport, along the Cliff Walk, is this bench with a plaque dedicating it to the Clark Brothers.
Cliff Walk is a three plus mile walkway along the shore and behind many of the old 'cottages' such as the Marble House and the Breakers. There are several entrances to the Cliff Walk. This location is at the end of Ledge Road. I'm not sure where the nearest public parking is in this area. We walked took a bus to the south end of the Cliff Walk and walked to the north end, passing through this location.
The bench is the second most north of four benches in a small plaza. The benches are made of metal and painted black. A small plaque is set on the seat back and has the following words:
"Such a long time to be gone and a short time to be here
