Colorizing a Photograph from 1874

I'm trying my hand at colorizing old black-and-white photographs. This first one from 1874 is called "Solution of Dinner Question at the Conduit at Hempstead", so the text at the bottom of the photo should say "Hempstead.”

The photo was shot by George Bradford Brainerd. See 28 of his photos, now and then, right here...
