Notes
Title
supplied
by
cataloger
. The
chronology
documented
in
secondary
sources
raises
some
questions
about
the
dates
indicated
on the
back
of the
photo
.
Charles
Eldredge
(1850-1890)
was a
noted
Mystic
area
boatbuilder
, but if the
date
of
Robert
A.'
s
construction
is
1901
, he was not the
Eldredge
referred
to on the
back
of the
photo
.
Byron
Church
had a
shop
on
Holmes
Street
1895-1901
, then
moved
to
Greenwich
,
so
the
shop
referred
to
might
have
formerly
been
Church's
rather
than
subsequently
.
J
.
W
.
Lathrop
&
Company
was
founded
in
1897
on
Holmes
Street
and in
business
until
1954
.
