SAVE the MERCHANT’S HOUSE!

In December, the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved a development next to the Merchant’s House
that will destroy one of New York’s first landmarks, a family home built in 1832 that remains intact, inside and out.

Please help protect this vital and irreplaceable part of
New York’s history before it is gone … forever.

Take 30 seconds to email the Adams Administration urging them to SAVE the 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.
