Visit this beautifully restored Georgian Revival Mansion, built in 1889 by the architect James Kelley for Professor Elihu Thomson. Brought to Lynn by shoe manufacturers to electrify the factories, Thomson was a renowned inventor and scientist who partnered with Thomas Edison to form General Electric. Thomson’s workshop lived in the carriage house, where he developed and held over 700 patents by the time of his death. At the center of the Olmsted Historic District, the building was restored and converted in 1976 into Swampscott’s Town Hall, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
