I’ve got a petition for you sign to save historic homes in the Fourth Ward Historic District.
On today’s June 17, 2022 episode of the Greenwich, A Town For All Seasons Show Podcast, you’ll have ample opportunities to let your imagination and curiosity soar.
I’ll take you on another excursion into one of Greenwich, Connecticut’s legendary Great Estates: Hilltop, owned by the Havemeyer's -thanks to the painstaking research provided to us by the Junior League of Greenwich.
We’ll continue our journey into Greenwich’s history through Judge Frederick Augustus Hubbard as he guided his readers in1932 along the west side of Greenwich Avenue.
In Crimes and Misdemeanors -the segment of the show where we continue our observances of the founding of the Greenwich Police Department- I’ll share news of daring burglaries in1908 and how drunks were disposed of in 1914.
Did you know William Rockefeller, known as one of the wealthiest men in the world a century ago, also lived in Greenwich?
From the Greenwich Before 2000 book, we’ll spend a few moments exploring what happened in the year 1927.
We'll conclude with community activities and this:
“It is quite a common occurrence to meet a woman carrying a snapping French poodle tucked under her arm on her way up or down Greenwich Avenue."
The observant soul ran into a woman who had an animal of a different sort under her arm.
The year this happened? 1914. The animal? A duck.
