- The Morris-Jumel Mansion is the oldest house in Manhattan. Being in its vicinity is a step back into colonial times. It is a place of beauty that is of great importance in the history of American culture and architecture.

its nice to hear a Hispanic person speak with such diction and education. helps take from all those comments made toward the Hispanic population
I would love to live in one of those row houses.... great video, thank you for sharing with us.
totally agree
This brings back so much memories when I was a kid cruising over there with my bike I grew up in that neighborhood. Is very special to me
You have aptly described the beauty, history and character of this monument. This is another great video. Thank you for this lovely work. :) *****
Thank you for a very polished presentation on this historical building. I had not been aware of it's existence. Your video makes me want to put it on my 'bucket list' of things to see. Thanks again!
It's mind-boggling that most New Yorkers don't even know of this place and its historical significance.
because it is in upper Harlem.
This is a wonderful piece of history. I was just there today 07.01. 2019!
I went to Jumel Mansion in 1972 when I was in the 5th grade. brought back memories.
You have perfectly described the beauty, history and character of this monument. This is yet another great video. Thanks again for such a wonderful work making this video. :)*****
What an informative video! Beautifully done Juan! Thank you!
As a teenager my mother Dorothy Gorghan would group with her friends at this place, she often talked about it as a fun time memory.
Very interesting and well done video. Thank you.
Nice job. Factual and well put together. 🙌
Thank you for the history and commentary. I was unaware that such a place existed in Manhatten.
Filmed in glorious ShakyCam(TM)!
GREAT Job! Thank you very much!
Whoever said they would like to live in the neighborhood of row houses does not realize that that street sits dab in the middle of one of the worst ghettos in New York City
Thank you for the wonderful historic video. The music background was nice too. If you can video the inside of this museum that would be great because I know I would never be able to go there..
Thank You ,for the very nice video,I learned a lot from you.
You should put the location in the description, I've only seen it at night.
Humm.
The oldest House in my town dates back to the 1840's.
With a couple of dozen dating to just before or during the Civil War.
I liked your vid but NY isn't in New England but is a mid-Atlantic state but still part of the thirteen original colonies.
Some of you
You know who you are
Should be ashamed of yourselves
I want a house like this !
Very interesting!
I am wondering if this house has A legend of President Washington’s ghost 👻 who lives there. Because I heard his ghost has been seeing in a house 🏡 in that area. I am wondering if that was true or not
wow! thank you! I never knew!!
When I first saw this video I thought you were wrong but I just checked and the house I was thinking of is in Brooklyn.
Still I would do some more checking before accepting this as ther oldest.
There must be something older4 than that.
The Wyckoff house (the house I as thinking of) was 1652.
Only one section of the house as it is today is the original house but it still stands and it is a hell of a lot older than this house in this video.
There must be something like that in Manhattan somewhere.
John Morley There are older buildings, but they're not houses, properly speaking.
This is indeed the oldest extant house on the island.
The Wykoff house is on Long Island not Manhattan, this is the oldest on Manhattan Island.
Are there interior tours?
Details at end of video.
After Mr. Jumel's death, his widow Eliza married Aaron Burr.

And as soon as she learned that Burr was burning through her fortune, she immediately divorced him too.
My house is 110 years old
I was hoping he would go inside...
Nice video at .50 seconds, New York is not in New England. New England States are; Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island
huhh..mister howard! chu coffee reddee!
Pachelbel’s Canon... ;)
was the original owners family ever compensated for the house? If not it is stolen, and should be returned to the heirs.
If the house was never handed down in a will then it by right property of the state.
wrong it goes to next of kin with out a will
James Webb Jr r u dumb. They abandoned the house n went back to England
D D, needle junkie, they fled for their lives and it does not change the fact that the property belongs to their family
James Webb Jr
Wrong. You are apparently unfamiliar with property rights in times of war. Just look at how many families in Britain lost their properties for choosing the wrong side or the wrong religion. It sucks but that's just the way it worked.
it's not old
In1998able
is too
Well it's not the oldest house :)
