Hamilton Grange National Memorial, Federal mansion and National Memorial in Harlem, United States.
Hamilton Grange National Memorial is a two-story Federal-style residence in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan. The facade shows symmetrical window arrangements, detailed cornices, and a central entrance that recalls the architecture of the early American republic.
Alexander Hamilton commissioned the property in 1802 as a country retreat for his family and lived here until his death in a duel with Aaron Burr two years later. John McComb Jr., one of New York's leading architects, designed the building following the modern principles of Federal architecture.
The house carries the name
Access is through West 141st Street in St Nicholas Park and admission is free. The memorial opens Wednesday through Sunday between 10 AM and 5 PM, with guided tours available through the interior rooms.
The entire building was relocated twice, most recently in 2008 over a distance of several blocks. Today it stands at its third site in St Nicholas Park, making it one of the few historic houses moved multiple times to new locations.
