1802-1804

Alexander Hamilton was a Founding Father, a Revolutionary War officer, author of some of the Federalist Papers, and the nation’s first Secretary of the Treasury, under whom he built the financial foundations of the United States. Hamilton acquired land for the estate in 1800, and the house was completed in 1802, just two years prior to Hamilton's death. The estate was named the Grange after Hamilton's grandfather's estate in Scotland. The timber in the mansion was sourced from Hamilton's father-in-law, General Schuyler's grounds in Saratoga. The house remained in his family for 30 years before being sold. Today, preserved as Hamilton Grange National Memorial, the house stands in St. Nicholas Park—having been relocated twice for preservation—and offers a glimpse into the domestic world of one of America’s most influential Founders.
