Robert Strong Woodward writes in his diary of the piece: Painted in winter of 1940. A composite picture I made up in the studio of a typical New England village street, from Buckland church canvas, church and house of Marlboro church canvas, overhanging branches of Halifax elm. Made for Grand Central Art Gallery patron and sent down there but they didn't buy it.

She chose New England and it hangs in her beautiful house, Rockmarge, at Prides Crossing. http://robertstrongwoodward.com/Gallery/NewEngland.html
