Built in 1880, the house at 28 Pearl Street in Mystic was originally the home of Parmenas Avery (1842-1886), a veteran of the Civil War who was a plumber/tinsmith and served as Mystic River postmaster and in the state General Assembly in 1882. In the collections of the Mystic River Historical Society is an invitation to a reception held at the new house the evening of Thursday, December 22, 1880.
