25 Mechanic Street

Margaret Mary “Maggi” (Ghimussi) Fields (±1918-2008) and her husband, William P. Fields (d 1991), moved to Mechanic Street in August 1963 — and not a moment too soon. About 90 percent of their belongings had arrived here from their former home at 31 Franklin Street when that building caught fire. Maggi Fields was an artist who had studied under James Wingate Parr (1923-1969). She moved to Fairhaven in September 1991 and sold this property five years later to Jon T. O’Neal, who sold it in turn in 1997 to Craig Kennedy. He is currently the trade manager of the Fairfield University Bookstore in Fairfield, Conn. • Assessor’s Online Database ¶ Updated 2013-03-30
