Title supplied by cataloger. The area along the Mystic River on the Stonington side north of downtown Mystic was known as Greenmanville. Three of the Greenman brothers, including youngest brother Thomas, lived and had their shipyard and mill in this area in the nineteenth century. Their houses are on the west side of Greenmanville Avenue, and are now part of Mystic Seaport. Photograph in album, probably by Everett A. Scholfield, a professional photographer who worked primarily in Mystic and New London from 1865-1913.
