Deep procrastinating right now and did a bit of digging. Per this Connecticut Evening Post Annual from 1885, Charles L. Mitchell, the son of Edward A. Mitchell, lived at an estate called "Fernhurst," which had been in his family for three generations. Googling the name of the estate on Google came up with this stereograph from the NYPL, which looks to be taken from the lawn of the same building. You can see the right side of the photograph matches up with what's in the stereograph.

That's as far as I think it can be taken without the help of the New Haven Museum as other commenters have stated. Still doesn't answer where in New Haven this is, but there's some more info for you if you're looking to dig further.

Thank you thank you!! I posted some brief context in a comment above in your interested. I’m definitely going to be digging further and contacting the New Haven museum. I’ve rummaged through their website so far but that’s about it.
