DescriptionView of the central part of North Haven. A cemetery is in the middle of the green, surrounded by a board fence. The small Gothic church made of "Wood" and "Brick" is the Episcopal Church. A "Maple" tree is beside the church. The two-story house in the center is labeled "Dr. Trumbull." At the right, the "Old Congregational" church is in the process of demolition; according to Barber's text, the steeple had already been removed.
