A young ladies school in Wallingford called Rosemary Hall announced its decision to relocate to Rock Ridge Farm, Greenwich. 


What was Belle Haven like in the winter of 1899?


In 1905, the people of Greenwich learned of plans for an opera house enough to seat 1200 patrons was planned for the intersection of Greenwich Avenue and East and West Elm streets.
