Greene Mansion

Greene Mansion is a historic home at 92 Market Street in Amsterdam, Montgomery County, New York. It was built in 1881 as a residence for Henry Eckford Greene, who died two months after it was finished and never lived in it. Henry was one of two sons of William Kimball Greene, who founded the Greene Knitting Mills, described as the first carpet factory in Amsterdam, and the family built a number of fine houses along Market Street, of which this is one. The mansion is a large two-story, irregular brick building under a steeply pitched slate roof with attic gables. Its features include an oriel window, covered wooden balconies and porches. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. This entry rests on the Wikipedia article alone, which gives no architect and no named architectural style, so those facts are left open.
