    A Fine Fiddle Gary DERBENWICK

    12 DECEMBER 2005 A Fine Fiddle Gary DERBENWICK . Colorado Springs . CO [email protected] [email protected] The Andre Watts concert that kept me from the picnic went great. He is skilled and musical, and his contact with the orchestra during the performance was at a level few soloists attain. This makes it all worthwhile. I had my violin reconditioned in Albuquerque last summer; it was long overdue. Down there at Robertson & Sons Violin Shop I had the opportunity to fiddle for about 20 minutes on the Havemeyer Cremona Strad violin, priced at $3.5 million. Pocket change for some, but I probably won’t see that opportunity again. One can check out Don’s shop, which includes a recital hall, on his Web site, including Bach solo violin music in the background. He has done very well, and I think he now does about 10 or 15% of the string business in North America. The first three pictures show Don Robertson (white beard) and his son with the Havemeyer Strad. The fourth picture shows me with the Strad (just so people know this is not a tall tale). The last two pictures show my violin after reconditioning by Don’s son. It is a Gand, one of the top French makers, and was made in 1849, among the last instruments he made. Gand is known for his orange red varnish and single piece backs. The picture shows it well. The backs are maple and the fronts are spruce, a more acoustic wood. The lighter spots are from wear and tear over the many years it has been used by its many owners.

    Putnam Hill, Greenwich, Conn

    February 2010 Putnam Hill, Greenwich, Conn. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places on Aug. 24, 1979, the Putnam Hill historic district is small but coherent, with just over a dozen houses and churches from the late-17th,18th, 19th and early-20th centuries. Greenwich began in the 1640s as a manor under the protection of the Dutch at New Amsterdam. In the 1650s, the Dutch ceded their Connecticut land holdings – including Greenwich – to the colony of New Haven. The Connecticut Legislature formally declared Greenwich an independent town in 1665. The main thoroughfare of Putnam Hill is U.S. Route 1 – also known as East Putnam Avenue in Greenwich. Cutting through the historic district on the east-west axis, Route 1 is an historic remnant of the famous Boston Post Road that was the primary land route between New York City and Boston in the late-17th, 18th and early-19th centuries. 181 E. Putnam Ave. Putnam Hill played a small part in the Revolutionary War. Gen. Israel Putnam (c. 1718-1790) narrowly escaped the British on Feb. 26, 1776, The Trust for Architectural Easements is a leading by leaping over the hill’s steep precipice on horseback during a high-speed chase. force in the preservation of architectural heritage in When the redcoats declined to follow him down the slope, Putnam went on to the United States.

    Dedication of Putnam Hill Historic District Marker

    MEDIA ALERT DEDICATION OF PUTNAM HILL HISTORIC DISTRICT MARKER Wednesday, July 12, 2017 Noon Sidewalk in front of Tomes-Higgins House, 216 East Putnam Avenue Greenwich The Greenwich Historical Society and the Greenwich Preservation Network will dedicate a new historic district marker that outlines the history of the Putnam Hill Historic District, July 12 at noon. Elected officials, historic preservationists, Greenwich residents and others will gather to dedicate the permanent marker, located on the sidewalk in front of the Tomes-Higgins House, 216 East Putnam Avenue. The marker is sponsored by “The Townies,” a small group of Greenwich citizens bonded by their love of the town. Charles Hilton Architects donated the design and Cornerstone Contracting donated its services to install the marker. Putnam Hill Historic District The Putnam Hill Historic District joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Once the center of the town of Greenwich, the district is named for General Israel Putnam, a Revolutionary War hero who in 1779 evaded pursuing British soldiers by riding from Knapp's Tavern down the steep hill to Stamford where he alerted the militia. General Putnam’s military feats are honored with the naming of Putnam Avenue (original King’s Highway), Putnam Cottage (Knapp’s Tavern), and Putnam Hill Park. His famous ride is depicted on the seal of the Town of Greenwich. Architecturally significant buildings in the district include the Second Congregational Church (1856), designed by Leopold Eidlitz; Calvert Vaux's 1861 Tomes-Higgins House (later Christ Church parsonage); and the 1909 Christ Church, by William S. Domenick, featuring Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass windows.
