Sumner Place

Sumner Place (formerly Greenough Street, see below) runs one block from Olive Street southeast to Dorsey Street. Sumner Lane was named for Ed Sumner, a guide who was secretary of the Adirondack Guides' Association. The former Troy Laundry building still stands on the east side of the street, behind the Post Office on Broadway.{|

My grandmother, Gertrude Harvey, owned 10 Olive for some time, another historic house. My grandmother knew the Sumners, which the street was named after. There was a horse farm on the Sumner Lane.
