Hamilton-Holly House.

Worth it, says Antonina. It’s one of the best-maintained Hamilton historical sites in New York City (considering it’s nearly 200 years old!).

Built in 1831, the Hamilton-Holly House became Eliza Hamilton’s residence from 1833 to 1842 (after Alexander’s death). Eliza sold Hamilton Grange to developer Thomas E. Davis and used the proceeds to purchase a townhouse at 4 St. Mark’s Place alongside her son, Alexander Hamilton Jr.

She lived in the home with her adult children, Alexander Hamilton Jr. and Eliza Hamilton Holly, and their spouses. Today, the building remains a private residence (rentals exceed $4,000 a month!), but you can swing by on a self-guided Hamilton tour of NYC and admire the home from the outside.

The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated it a landmark in 2004. It’s one of the best-maintained Hamilton historical sites in New York City (considering it’s nearly 200 years old!).

Fun fact. The Hamilton-Holly House is not only one of the most famous Hamilton sites in NYC but also home to a punk-rock clothing store called Trash and Vaudeville. The store operated out of the first floor for 40 years and is famous for outfitting rockstars like Bruce Springsteen, The Clash, and the Ramones.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
