Behind the Ropes Tour: The Architecture of an 1832 Landmark, with Anthony Bellov

"The Architecture of an 1832 Landmark: Manhattan's FIRST" - a virtual tour led by Anthony Bellov who examines in detail the built evidence of the original uses and transformations over time of the Merchant's House Museum - the very first building in Manhattan to receive landmark status and for 98 years the home of Seabury Tredwell, his family, and their servants. An amazingly intact survivor of a vanished world. Join Anthony as he opens doors, and explores spaces the visiting public NEVER sees.

The first designated landmark in Manhattan following the passing of the Landmarks Preservation law in April 1965. It is one of only 120 interior landmarks in the NYC, and one of only 6 residences. The MHM is a National Historic Landmark (one of only 2,400) and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is the only historic house museum in the Greenwich Village/NoHo area and celebrated 85 years as a museum in 2021.
