Description and history
The Moses Greenwood House is located in eastern Dublin, at the southeast corner of Old County and Pierce Roads. It is now a rambling 2+1⁄2-story frame structure, roughly H-shaped, but its shape is obscured by other additions and a single-story enclosed porch that encircles much of its exterior. Its roofs are studded with a variety of primarily gable-roofed dormers.[2]
The oldest portion of this house was built c.1783 by Moses Greenwood, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, and is a fairly conventional four-bay wood-frame structure. After being the Greenwood family home for a century, it was acquired by Mary Metcalfe, who added one wing in 1899, and Adele Thayer, who added a second wing in 1910. These additions, Georgian Revival in styling, were sympathetic to the style of the original house. It opened as the Dublin Inn in 1921.[2]
In 1945, a group of American politicians, lawyers, and businessmen met at the inn, where they drafted the Dublin Declaration, a document calling for control of nuclear weapons and the broadening of the United Nations into a worldwide governing body. Attendees included future president John F. Kennedy.[2] A second meeting, the Dublin Assembly on Peace, was held in October 1965. This event was hosted by Anna K. Yoss, owner of the Dublin Inn.[citation needed] The property was later adapted for use by a drug rehabilitation clinic.[2]
