Kate Mullany House, Labor movement historic house in Troy, New York, United States.
The Kate Mullany House is a three-story brick building constructed in 1869 in the Italianate style, originally containing several apartments for working families. The structure has been partially restored to show visitors what living conditions looked like in this working-class neighborhood during the 1800s.
Kate Mullany, an Irish immigrant, founded the first successful female labor union in 1864 while living in this house. The collar makers she organized went on strike to demand better working conditions and fair wages.
The house shows how Irish women workers lived and fought for rights in Troy's collar-making industry. Visitors can see the modest living spaces that reflect the everyday reality these women faced.
Visitors can tour the restored third-floor apartment to see how workers lived during this period. Plan time to walk through the rooms and read the information displays that explain the labor movement's history.
This building became the first National Historic Landmark in the United States dedicated specifically to a young woman who led a labor movement. The designation highlights just how remarkable her achievements were for American history.
