NotesCartographic Note: No scale Date Note: According to Harry T. Peters, the lithographer F. Heppenheimer gave his address as 22 North William Street from 1854 to 1856. After that, his address appears as 22 and 24 North William Street. Title Note: The name Mount Prospect does not occur in Connecticut Place Names. The area in question appears to correspond to Prospect Hill, which is located at the top of Spring Street, near Saint John's Cemetery.
