We went on a free tour of merchantshouse.org given by villagepreservation.org. We are members of the latter. Please sign the petition at actionnetwork.org/letters/save-the-merchants-house-museum-2?source=merchants-house-website. “In December, the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved a development next to the Merchant’s House Museum at 27 East 4th Street. It will destroy one of New York’s first landmarks. A home that was built in 1832 and that has remained intact, inside and out.”
A worthy cause well photographed
Thanks Derrick. I hope it is saved from damage.
Indeed
What a fascinating place Sherry, I would love to visit. I’ve just looked through the website, it makes very interesting reading. Definitely a place worth saving especially as it’s so original so I’ve signed the petition. Reminds me a bit of the restored Elizabeth Gaskell house which I visited a few weeks ago, it’s from the same period and while some of the furniture has been borrowed a lot of it and other items on display are all original – it’s on my blog if you want to take a look.
Thanks Eunice. I will look in a while. Recovering from some disagreeable meds today.
That doesn’t sound good, I hope you feel better soon.
