History

Alexander Hamilton’s house, named “The Grange” after his family’s ancestral home in Scotland, was moved from its original site on W. 143rd Street to 287 Convent Avenue in 1889. Studies have been done to determine how the house looked in Hamilton’s time, and the National Park Service intends to reconstruct its original exterior appearance, making it possible to once again view the entire Grange. A part of Hamilton’s original 32 acre estate, St Nicholas Park is the third and final location of the home. Hamilton helped design and called it his “sweet project.”
