Ramsdell identified the location depicted as Old Lyme and dated the picture 1908. The artist came to Old Lyme in 1906, where he owned a home known as Deacon Hall on Grassy Hill Road until his death in 1915. He was a good friend of Florence Griswold, who owned one of his paintings at the time of her death. He was not a prolific painter and his family still owns some of his work.
