nice – I have an original sheet of that (1895 US Geological Survey Map) framed on the wall at home!
A foggy view from the Westport Library.
It is the Mill Pond — the backs of homes, taken from the current preserve (former Allen’s Clam House site). You can go down there now and see much better — the fog has cleared!
Backside of Main Street before Parker Harding (aka Harder Parking) was built from reclaimed portion of Saugatuck River. Or, Parker Harding after Hurricane (Name).
Missed the “taken today” bit. I defer to the experts and maps😉

In high school I pumped gas at Home Gulf on the Post Road and Paul Newman would visit us in a souped up VW Bug and every Christmas he would hand out bottles of Four Roses whiskey in gift boxes to the employees (of age) but I always managed to snag a bottle. In December one year I sold Christmas Trees in the Big Top parking lot across the street. Fun times!
