In 1852, Guilford builder William Weld constructed an Italianate house (possibly based on a design by Henry Austin) on Boston Street for his brother, the whaling captain Frederick Alonzo Weld, who was captain of the Italy out of Greenport, Long Island. Capt. Weld died in 1893 and a memorial epitaph, written by Henry Pynchon Robinson, was published in Guilford Portraits (1907).

    Have you had some free time lately? I’ve noticed almost a picture a day the last three days. Not that your readers are complaining.
