Greenwich Free Press: Caroline Mills Smith Mead, Greenwich’s First Woman Real Estate Developer




Thirteen years after the death of Caroline Mills Smith Mead in 1910, Lucien Edwards penned a piece in his column “Greenwich Life As It Is – And Was,” published in the Greenwich News & Graphic.
His readers learned about “the first of Greenwich farming land to be developed into residential sites was owned by a woman who promoted what proved to be one of the most successful real estate operations ever planned for Greenwich.”
