We’ll get a little place in Harlem and we’ll figure it out😉 In all seriousness though, Hamilton built this house for Eliza so that she could be reminded of her own childhood home. He wrote in one of his letters to her, “I have formed a sweet project, of which I will make you my confident when I come to New York, and in which I rely that you will cooperate with me cheerfully...you may guess and guess and guess again, but your guessing will still be in vain.” In other words, he was surprising her. Couple goals🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful "walk" through Hamilton Grange - thanks to the NY Landmarks Conservancy for creating and sharing this video. Great work! And, by the way, Peg is a great narrator!
According to the Museum of the City of New York. By 1889, the Grange had fallen into disrepair and was set to be razed to make room for the expanding city grid. The estate sat on what was to be 143rd Street - the street would have run right through the house’s northwest corner. Luckily, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, in the midst of relocating from Greenwich Village, acquired the house and moved it a half block east and two blocks south, out of the way of the city’s bulldozers.
Ok. Based on the provided map it looks like the street would have only run through the house’s northwest lawn. Interesting stuff, thank you for the info and source.
It would’ve been razed otherwise, as it had been in disrepair and dissolution for a long time. It was in the way of the street grid. I personally think this option is a fair compromise: we still have the house and the planners can have their grid (even though I personally would’ve thought the idea of it becoming ignored and just becoming another one of the many parks that stick out from the grid would have been a good idea.)

"couple goals" except for the fact that he cheated on her for over a year
I'd be honored to walk into this beautiful place!

Why did they move it originally? It doesn’t seem like it was in the way of 143rd street
