Farm Land Goes Commercial

The land where Mainland Regional and the Prudential Building were built was part of a colonial plantation from the 1700's. In more modern times it was known as the Dennis Farm. That's New Road (Route 9) in the center of the photo and, if you look carefully, you can see the bay at the top. Devonshire Avenue is clearly visible as well as the newly created ballpark at the upper left. Aerial photo by Lou Off.
