Three brothers, George, Clark and Thomas Greenman, founded the George Greenman & Co. Shipyard in Mystic (now the location of Mystic Seaport). Each erected a house along Greenmanville Avenue, the last being the home of Thomas S. Greenman. Erected in 1842, the house has a cast-iron fence, put up about 1866, and a porch, added in the 1870s. Thomas Greenman’s granddaughter, Mary Stillman Harkness, donated the house to Mystic Seaport in 1945. An exhibit was opened in the house in 1952, while the kitchen and upstairs rooms are used as offices.
