    For something to have survived in the ever changing Manhattan is honestly a testament to how thing can stand the test of time.

    I love the fact this house was saved relatively early on. It still has the bread oven, too! Cool.

    That green wallpaper! I recall learning about this popular 18th Century color at Mt.Vernon. Very glad to hear this one is still standing, in good repair, and open to the public. While I'm familiar with many of the everyday items from this period (museum nerd here), future generations, who will never have even seen a manual dial telephone, should see things like bed warmers and courting candles, so they can understand how people lived in the past. Getting back to the house itself, I love the grace and balance of these early styles, though a perfectly painted Queen Anne Victorian always makes me smile. :D

    Very good report, Ken. Thanks for covering what we common folks would never know.

    For many of the huge houses back then, i love learning the history of places. For me, it's the little things of everyday life that make history so fascinating. Hope people will see the museum now and learn even more.

    Good thing it was designated a museum so early on, I can't imagine it would have survived otherwise.

    The symmetry is beautiful. I enjoy the attention to detail inside like the wide trims, rich colors, and formal wallpaper.

    Great narration and information, very enjoyable watch. Watching your channel for the past few months brought back memories of a TV show I watched as a kid, it was called "If These Walls Could Talk."

    Very well preserved..
    Another lovely house with a rich history.
    It's in the style of some older houses seen in my part of the U.S.
    Hard to imagine any area of the house at one time being used a tavern, maybe the kitchen.
    I would love to see it in person one day..
    Thank you, Ken.

    Love these documentaries on History because we simply don't hear much anymore. Such a travesty. Thank you for sharing ❤

    I WANT to live in Jumel Terrace. I was there in April showing the mansion to a couple of friends visiting New York City and fell in love with the neighborhood all over again.

    I Used to be an volunteer docent at that house back in the early 1990's .I would visit Eliza Jumel's tomb @ Trinity Cemetery located on Broadway not too far from the mansion. ❤

    Wonderful that the home still exists; so much beauty, craftsmanship and history has been lost in the name of “progress”. Thank you for making these videos 😊

    Love this style...I think you should rent this mansion out for a dinner party when you reach 300K subs and invite your oldest subscribers!

    ❤ Samuel Northrop, I think that's the correct spelling, the movie 12 YEARS A SLAVE, is based on his life wife worked there. I visited the house twice. Can you do a story about the row of town homes directly across from The Morris Jamel mansion, they filmed some parts of Boardwalk Empire there. Unless you have already done it, I'll have to check. With the cobblestone streets still there it's like visiting a different world than from the A train station.❤❤❤

    Well it would definitely be in the northern tip of Manhattan, the slowest changing neighborhoods...
