Hours & Admission
The Merchant’s House was built in 1832 and purchased by Seabury Tredwell, a prosperous New York City hardware merchant, in 1835. The Tredwell family continued to live in the house for nearly 100 years.
The period rooms on four floors are furnished with the family’s original furnishings dating from 1835-1865. See how a wealthy family and their four Irish servants lived in mid-19th century New York. The garden is also open to visitors.
