Brief Description
Consists of four single-family wood-frame residential buildings listed as the property of the Hyde Brothers mill on an 1868 map of the area. Three of the residences (13, 31, and 37 North Stonington Road) are one-story Cape Cod Cottage-style houses, while the fourth (42 North Stonington Road) is a two-story Georgian residence. The mill was established during the early 19th c. and it is unclear whether the houses pre-date the operation or were built by the mill’s owners. The mill was abandoned by the late 19th c. and disappeared by the 1920s.
