The Hermitage, Gothic Revival house in Ho-Ho-Kus, US.
The Hermitage features fourteen rooms, wood-shingled roofs, pointed gables, and decorative elements characteristic of the Gothic Revival architectural movement from the 1840s.
During the American Revolutionary War in 1778, George Washington and his troops stayed at The Hermitage upon invitation from resident Theodosia Bartow Prevost.
The house represents the transition in American residential architecture from Dutch-American tradition to Gothic Revival style through William H. Ranlett's 1847 renovation.
The Hermitage functions as a museum open throughout the year, managed by The Friends of the Hermitage organization under New Jersey state ownership.
The property spans 4.9 acres and includes the main house where Aaron Burr married Theodosia Prevost in 1782 following encounters with Hamilton and Lafayette.
