Loring Greenough House
About
The Loring Greenough House in Jamaica Plain was built in 1760 by Commodore Joshua Loring and owned by the Greenough family from 1783 until 1924. That year the Jamaica Plain Tuesday Club purchased the house, and the club has served as its steward ever since. The property is listed as a park, a museum and a community space, reflecting its mix of history and present-day neighborhood use.
In 2008 the Tuesday Club set out a new community-oriented role for the house as a center for social, cultural, historical and educational activities. Among the events it hosts are Open Studios, where participating artists show work across a wide range of media, including photography, oil landscapes, watercolor and pastel, ceramics, studio pottery, prints, fiber, textile art and handmade jewelry.
