North Mianus is a small community on the Mianus River north of the Post Road. It was known as Dumpling Pond in the early 1900′s and was one of Greenwich’s first commercial districts with large ships picking up fresh produce from local farms. Immigrants moving into the area were largely of Italian descent, many settling near the Community Center which then housed part of the North Mianus School. North Mianus was a close-knit community of hard-working families placing great importance on the education of their children. Early on, the facilities of the North Mianus School were scattered, with the Community Center housing the upper grades and various nearby buildings holding classes for the lower grades. The new North Mianus School opened on Palmer Hill Road in 1926.

Today, North Mianus is a quiet residential community with an abundance of natural parkland and open spaces with many homes enjoying direct frontage and activities on the Mianus River.

Tour of Greenwich Homes
The Woman’s Club of Greenwich
Wednesday, May 20, 2009
10:00am – 4:00pm
The Woman’s Club of Greenwich is sponsoring a tour of four of Greenwich’s most fabulous homes. These homes were custom designed for their owners.

One home,  on the Driftway at Tod’s Point, was designed by a naval architect and has views of Long Island Sound from every room.

Another is located in mid-country Greenwich, it has the touch of an English cottage and is ideal for those who seek perfection and elegance, tour organizers said. Charles Moon, an interior designer, will be on the premises during the tour to answer questions.

The third home has a design  influenced by the Asian culture of its owners. Looking out from any vantage point indoors, one is surrounded by the beauty of the outdoors.

The fourth home, constructed with native stone and wood shingles, is located in the park-like setting on about four acres. Inside, elegance is the hallmark of this residence that exemplifies the dignity and grace found in so many Greenwich homes.

Cost is $75. Ticket holders should check in at The Woman’s Club, 89 Maple Ave., where a booklet including a map will be given, including directions to the homes and a brief description of each. Refreshments will be served to tour participants before they embark.

Money from the event will support a specially designed garden to benefit all residents, including those with Alzheimer’s disease at The Nathaniel Witherell nursing home.
