Description	Hector Darrach and two women stand in front of a house identified as the Allyn House, Greenmanville Avenue, Mystic. The woman in the middle appears to be Fanny (Fannie?) Langworthy. Darrach has a beard and wears a hat. The group stands in front of the main doorway. There is an ell to the left of the main section of the house, which is a two-story structure with an elaborate portico over the front door.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Handwritten in pencil on back: "H. Darrach/2 Photos/ 12 Postals/ 175/ Pd - 25 cts". Hector Darrach (1838-1916) was a ship and boat builder in Mystic. He worked as a ship carpenter for the George Greenman & Co. and later under subcontract or lease for David O. Richmond, often with other boat/shipbuilders. Formerly a single story house, possibly one of the oldest in Mystic, the Langworthy-Allyn House underwent many modifications over time, including the raising of the first floor and construction of a new one during the nineteenth century. It was owned briefly by the Greenman family, and later by David O. Langworthy and his wife Fanny (Fannie?). They operated it as a boarding house for mill and shipyard workers during the second half of the nineteenth century. Hector Darrach was a boarder there in the 1870's and eventually married the Langworthy's daughter Sarah F. Langworthy. From 1931-1974 the house was owned by the Allyn family. The Langworthy/Allyn house is currently part of Mystic Seaport. Secondary sources indicate the circa 1885 date, but the clothing suggests a somewhat later period. Mounted on card, 8 x 10 in.
