Back of photograph: "7 Stoll's Alley After" Between 1700 and 1748, a small passageway off East Bay was established to connect with Church Street. Many informal documents state that small structures were constructed along the passageway, where harbor pilots lived. The area was called Pilot’s Alley. This quaint brick paved passage was renamed for Justinus Stoll, a local blacksmith, who is thought to have built his home at No. 7 Stoll's Alley, c. 1745. He purchased the land from Mrs. Landgrave Thomas Smith. The street was a run down slum in 1927, and was been rehabilitated by Alida Canfield. 7 Stoll’s Alley initially had a two-room plan, which was later changed with the addition of a passage to accommodate nineteenth-century tenants.
