The Merchant’s House, between the Bowery and Lafayette, is the only 19-century family home in New York City preserved intact on the inside and out.
More history: "Built in 1832 and home to a prosperous merchant family, the Tredwells, and their Irish servants for almost 100 years, it remains complete with the family’s original furnishings, household objects, clothing, and personal memorabilia."

The Merchant House is a city (and national) treasure! If you've never been, it's well worth a visit. It's so much more than a preserved house - there is so much history here and the story if the Treadwell family is fascinating. They always do something special for Halloween as well.
No thanks. That house is haunted and scary AF.
i always walked by there hoping to hear the piano being played (by the ghost), but it never happened.
