That green wallpaper! I recall learning about this popular 18th Century color at Mt.Vernon. Very glad to hear this one is still standing, in good repair, and open to the public. While I'm familiar with many of the everyday items from this period (museum nerd here), future generations, who will never have even seen a manual dial telephone, should see things like bed warmers and courting candles, so they can understand how people lived in the past. Getting back to the house itself, I love the grace and balance of these early styles, though a perfectly painted Queen Anne Victorian always makes me smile. :D
For many of the huge houses back then, i love learning the history of places. For me, it's the little things of everyday life that make history so fascinating. Hope people will see the museum now and learn even more.
This is a great video Ken! I've been to Manhattan so many time but I never heard of this!! NOW I know about it. I look forward to touring it someday. What a historical home. Washington's HQ ! Wow!
I WANT to live in Jumel Terrace. I was there in April showing the mansion to a couple of friends visiting New York City and fell in love with the neighborhood all over again.
Wonderful that the home still exists; so much beauty, craftsmanship and history has been lost in the name of “progress”. Thank you for making these videos 😊
Very well preserved.. Another lovely house with a rich history. It's in the style of some older houses seen in my part of the U.S. Hard to imagine any area of the house at one time being used a tavern, maybe the kitchen. I would love to see it in person one day.. Thank you, Ken.
Great narration and information, very enjoyable watch. Watching your channel for the past few months brought back memories of a TV show I watched as a kid, it was called "If These Walls Could Talk."
I Used to be an volunteer docent at that house back in the early 1990's .I would visit Eliza Jumel's tomb @ Trinity Cemetery located on Broadway not too far from the mansion. ❤
❤ Samuel Northrop, I think that's the correct spelling, the movie 12 YEARS A SLAVE, is based on his life wife worked there. I visited the house twice. Can you do a story about the row of town homes directly across from The Morris Jamel mansion, they filmed some parts of Boardwalk Empire there. Unless you have already done it, I'll have to check. With the cobblestone streets still there it's like visiting a different world than from the A train station.❤❤❤
For something to have survived in the ever changing Manhattan is honestly a testament to how thing can stand the test of time.
I love the fact this house was saved relatively early on. It still has the bread oven, too! Cool.

Very good report, Ken. Thanks for covering what we common folks would never know.
Good thing it was designated a museum so early on, I can't imagine it would have survived otherwise.
Beautiful
What a beautiful, homey yet elegant mansion. Thanks Ken!
The symmetry is beautiful. I enjoy the attention to detail inside like the wide trims, rich colors, and formal wallpaper.
4:01 Again I cannot express how Amazing this is.

Love these documentaries on History because we simply don't hear much anymore. Such a travesty. Thank you for sharing ❤
3:17 How absolutely Beautiful. NY is so Fortunate to have this wonderful piece of Historically Amazing structure still in existence. A+ ⭐️
I visited this house several years ago and it’s well worth going out of your way to see it. You did a great job on this Ken!
Amazing way to start the day! And it’s still standing.
Beautiful, and so glad to see that it's still standing...💙💜💙
Thanks, Ken! I appreciate hearing the details about the homeowner's life story.
Very informative. Thank you.
Interesting History, thank you Ken
I WANT to live in Jumel Terrace. I was there in April showing the mansion to a couple of friends visiting New York City and fell in love with the neighborhood all over again.
What an amazing place. Thanks Ken For another exciting tour.😊

I gotta say....... this channel is awesome 🤘.... but, please do more with the Pacific Northwest 👌🇺🇸
What an awesome place. The history behind it interesting too.
I Used to be an volunteer docent at that house back in the early 1990's .I would visit Eliza Jumel's tomb @ Trinity Cemetery located on Broadway not too far from the mansion. ❤
It's hard to believe this has survived in Manhattan! It's quite amazing.
Beautiful thanks for showing us.
I would love to visit this stately home.
You've treated us to another happy ending, Ken..
TBH, I'm surprised the house is still in existence.
I really want to see the basement
It’s the basement and attic spaces that always intrigue me
Awesum house and video. Did they restore the out house to?

You seemed to have slowed down your speech. Appreciate it!
Love this style...I think you should rent this mansion out for a dinner party when you reach 300K subs and invite your oldest subscribers!
They need to put the shutters back up.
Well it would definitely be in the northern tip of Manhattan, the slowest changing neighborhoods...
I wonder if you would consider doing a tenement or two.
❤
it's actually Empire (“Ahm-peer") style, being connected to France ;)
I live near it.
❤🇨🇦
They built to last in the good old days. Yes, I do mean the good old days
Built out of wood?
First
Tell a story that will sell !...im not buying anything !
