Vintage Map of Greenwich, Connecticut 1904

At the time this map was drawn, Greenwich was in a period of rapid transformation. The New York and New Haven Railroad had connected the town to the city, drawing wealthy New York families out to build the grand estates that would define the area for decades, and the quiet farming and shoreline community of the 1800s was quickly becoming one of the most fashionable suburbs in the Northeast. Greenwich Avenue was already equipped with sidewalks, street lighting, and water lines, but was being paved and would soon carry a streetcar line. The schools, churches, and landmarks shown on this map capture a town rapidly growing into the Greenwich you know today.

This beautiful old map of Greenwich makes an attractive addition to your office, library, or den and can even be used to teach children the geography and history of the area. When you’re done exploring, click here to get your copy of the restored map.
