Loring-Greenough House

The Loring-Greenough House is a Georgian mansion in Jamaica Plain spread across three stories with traditional Colonial architectural details throughout. The property includes historic gardens and retains its original 18th-century character.

Commodore Joshua Loring built this house in 1760, and it served as a military headquarters and hospital during the American Revolution. After the war it remained a family home until neighbors purchased it in 1924 to prevent its conversion to commercial use.

The Jamaica Plain Tuesday Club operates this house as a gathering place for people interested in local history and historic buildings. Visitors can see how neighbors work together to keep a piece of their past alive.

The house is mainly open on Sundays, particularly during warmer months, and visitors should check ahead for tour availability. The ground floor is accessible for people with mobility limitations.

The Greenough family lived here for five generations, leaving a deep mark on the house over many decades. This family continuity shows how the residence became the center of one family's story across changing times.
