Joseph Carpenter Silversmith Shop
Joseph Carpenter Silversmith Shop, Historic silversmith workshop in Norwichtown, United States.
The Joseph Carpenter Silversmith Shop stands as a 1.5-story clapboarded building with a gambrel roof, measuring 30 feet by 24 feet on Norwichtown Green.
Built between 1772 and 1774, the workshop belonged to Joseph Carpenter, who manufactured silver items and clocks alongside his brother Gardner's mercantile business.
The structure represents early American craftsmanship through its preserved forge, original walls, and artifacts that document the commercial activities of colonial Norwich.

This frame silversmith shop remains the only known surviving structure of its type in New England, maintaining its original location on East Town Street.
