A Fine Home in Mystic Seaport

For today's adventure, we traveled to Mystic Seaport, CT. We've been here before and love the quaint town. We received some very sad family news this morning so my heart really wasn't into sightseeing. We strolled through the town and enjoyed looking at some of the beautiful architecture so I decided to share one home with you. From the plaque in front, "this house was built in 1839 for George and Abigail Greenman. He was the oldest of three brothers who founded the George Greenman & Company Shipyard. This home and the two built next door for brothers Clark and Thomas, were built in the Greek Revival style then popular in the US. In addition to a shipyard, the brothers built a textile mill, rented houses to workers, managed nearby farms, and operated a store."
