The Morris-Jumel Mansion was built as a summer home in 1765, when Washington Heights was farmland, and is now open as a museum, highlighting its role in the founding of the country and much more. The oldest residence in Manhattan, the Mansion is about to undergo a complete exterior restoration. Learn the focus of the plan, where things currently stand, and the end goal of the restoration.

The building has steps that require people to climb for access. We are building an access ramp as part of the restoration.
