Cherry Hill, Historic house in Albany, United States.
Cherry Hill stands on South Pearl Street, featuring a timber frame structure with Georgian elements and Dutch Colonial architectural characteristics typical of late 18th century constructions.
Colonel Philip Kiliaen van Rensselaer commissioned local carpenter Isaac Packard to build this residence in 1787 for his bride Maria Sanders on family land south of Albany.
The museum collection contains 70,000 items including furniture, books, diaries, documents, clothing, photographs, and objects from five generations of the Van Rensselaer family.
Located at 523 1/2 South Pearl Street in Albany, New York, the museum offers guided tours and educational programs about the history of the Van Rensselaer family.
The house witnessed a notorious murder in 1827, which resulted in Albany's final public execution following the death of John Whipple at the hands of Jesse Strang.
