Merchant's House Museum
The Merchant's House Museum is New York City's only intact 19th-century family home, preserved with its original furnishings, family portraits, and personal belongings of the prosperous Tredwell family who lived there from 1835 to 1933. It is one of the most authentic domestic interiors of the early Victorian period surviving in the United States.
Est. 1835
Permanent Collection
The museum preserves the entire contents of the Greek Revival rowhouse as the Tredwell family left them, offering a rare glimpse into upper-middle-class domestic life in 19th-century New York. Original furniture, textiles, clothing, and kitchenware spanning nearly a century of family occupation remain in situ.
