Join us for cocktails, fine wines, hors d’oeuvres, music, and a silent auction in the Museum’s lush 19th century garden.  All proceeds from the benefit will support implementing the Historic Furnishings Plan — reviving our Greek revival. With your help, we can start “redecorating,” just as the Tredwells did in the 1850s.

Explore Manhattan’s “best-preserved” (The New York Times) 19th-century home and learn about the domestic life of a prosperous merchant family and their Irish servants from 1835 to 1865, as New York City transformed from seaport to thriving metropolis. You’ll visit four floors of this late-Federal and Greek revival style row house — virtually complete with the family’s original furnishings and decorative arts.


Included with regular admission. Reservations not required for groups of fewer than 10 people.

For those who know the Merchant's house, the idea of the home being destroyed over a developers dream is painful. Below is a letter from the museum's Executive Director, Margaret Halsey Gardiner's. . .


Dear Friends of the Merchant's House,

I am writing to alert you of a grave threat to the Merchant's House.

A developer has proposed building a 9-story hotel next door at 27 East 4th Street. The potential damage to our very fragile 1832 landmark building during demolition of the existing garage and construction of the new hotel is huge. The risk to the house may simply be too great. (If nothing else, the statistics on houses that have collapsed under similar circumstances is frightening.) We need to have an extensive study performed — by an independent engineer — to assess the potential impact on the MHM — before any design plans are even considered, much less approved.

I don't scare easily, and it is not in my nature to overreact, but this proposed development poses a beyond-serious threat to the structural stability of the house. I have been director for 20+ years — I know from experience.

PLEASE:

1. Sign our petition: go to this link and send to all your friends: http://ztrend.com/zxvxk

2. Attend the Community Board #2 hearing on Monday, May 14, 6:30 pm, at Church of Our Lady of Pompeii, 25 Carmine Street, Father Demo Hall.

I hope you will come out in force to support the Merchant's House.

With great thanks. I know you care about the house as much as we do.

Margaret Halsey Gardiner
Executive Director
