A perfect launch point for the Thimble Islands. Let’s roll back the Shoreline clock to those who summered in Branford, those who lived on either side of the turn of the last century.

During that time Branford was a mecca for families looking to escape industrialized cities. Dotted along it’s shoreline were large rambling hotels, at least nine to be exact, that offered verandas where summer breezes (back then there was no air conditioning) could be enjoyed along with local produce and fresh seafood. 25 West Point Road captures unique glimpses of these days gone by. The homes expansive back yard abuts wildlife abundant wetlands with somewhat distant views of the old trolley lines; traversed by visitors.
