The Merchant’s House is OPEN during restoration! Enter the Museum via Manuel Plaza, at 35 East 4th Street.

 

At left, the ornate 1832 plaster medallion in the front parlor. At left, a bold graphic reading "save the landmark Merchant's House!"

The Merchant’s House is an exterior – and interior – City landmark, one of only 121. At particular risk is our original 1832 ornate ornamental plasterwork (considered the finest surviving from the period) as well as the plaster walls and ceilings. Vibrations from construction next door could cause it literally to come crumbling down.
