I-95 Northbound (from New York)

After you pass Exit 43, you might want to swing into your far right lane and stay there.

  1. I-95 North to exit 50, Woodward Avenue
  2. Stay in the middle lane to the stop sign. Proceed through the stop sign, and the lane you are in will now be the right lane. This lane will end at the traffic light, and you will need to make a right at the second light, onto Townsend Avenue, at the Shell station.
  3. Proceed through the traffic light (about 1.1 miles), continuing to follow Townsend about another 7/10 of a mile until you come to a stop sign. You will be able to see Long Island Sound on your right.
  4. LEFT at that stop sign onto Parker Place
  5. LEFT at 1st street onto Mansion Street (a short street, left only, comes up quickly after turn)
  6. LEFT at end of Mansion (only about 1/2 block) onto Florence
  7. LEFT into 1st driveway after you make the turn
37 Florence Avenue is the white house to the RIGHT of the driveway

  • Take Grand Avenue east, and cross the Grand Avenue Bridge.
  • Make a RIGHT at the light at the end of the bridge on to QUINNIPIAC AVENUE; don't go up the hill.
