The house at 76 Lyme Street in Old Lyme was built in 1850 for Amos Bacon, a sea captain. From 1919 to 1959, the house was occupied by Charles Ebert (1873-1959) and his wife, Mary Roberts Ebert (1873-1956). They were impressionist painters who were part of the Cos Cob art colony in Greenwich before moving to Old Lyme in 1919.
