Glimpses of South Norwalk and Southport, 1874. Creator: John J. Harley
Glimpses of South Norwalk and Southport, 1874. The Ways, Black Rock; View in Southport; South Norwalk; A Relic; An Ancient Landmark; Southport Harbor, Connecticut, USA. Views around the coast of New England. The " Ancient Landmark"...is believed to be the chimney of an old Revolutionary building of historic interest, and the subject of many legendary anecdotes. It presents some internal evidence of having been used as a place of concealment, perhaps by Tories hiding from pursuing colonists. Its preservation for so long a time in its ruined condition is said to be the result of government care, utilizing it as a literal landmark to guide vessels over the harbor-shoals. From " Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1874]
