Synopsis

On East Fourth Street in New York City, there is a Hidden Treasure. Visitors climb the stoop, ring the bell, and magically step into the past.Lived in by one family for 100 years, The Merchant’s House Museum is still the way it was in 1850—with its original furniture and personal family possessions, including dresses worn by the eight women in the family. This book tells how members of the merchant elite really lived at the time when New York City became the commercial emporium of the nation.
