Old Merchants House of New York

Built in 1831-32 by Joseph Brewster as a row house. Purchased in 1835 by Seabury Treadwell, a merchant, and occupied by his family until 1933. This house is the only 19th Century house in Manhattan to survive intact with its original furniture and family memorabilia. The parlors are historic examples of Greek Revival Architecture. Restored in 1979, the house has been a museum since 1935.

Marker is on 29 East Fourth Street.
