The Merchant's House: A Portal into the Past
The Merchant's House Museum, which from 1835-1933 was a residential home for a wealthy family, now exists as a historic house museum in the heart of the East Village. The museum is furnished almost exactly as it was when it was a residence and with nearly all of the family's original furniture and belongings. Not only does it preserve over a thousand historic artifacts, it also exists as a preservation of the Rococo Revival architecture style and acts as a portal to a pivotal time period in Manhattan.
The museum is now threatened by development, and this feature, which includes ghost stories and passionate accounts from staff and volunteers, establishes why the Museum’s preservation isn't just important, it's necessary.
