Edgewood Inn

"...The Edgewood Inn, which a 1939 article described was "for many years one of the largest and most fashionable summer hotels in this section", opened its doors in June, 1902. It was located near the interesction of today's Edgewood Place, Edgewood Drive and Valley Drive, on land that was once a part of the Colonel Thomas A. Mead farm.

Construction of the Inn was financed by Nathaniel Witherell, a wealthy New York shipping tycoon and leading Greenwich real estate developer and philanthropist. As a partner in the newly formed Edgewood Land Company, Witherell was no doubt eager for its guests to enjoy the Inn's country setting and, hopefully, be enticed to purchase land in the surrounding subdivision..." www.greenwichhistory.org
