street and Amsterdam avenue, In the
city Of New York. is one of the most
famous Of all the historic buildings In
that greatest of all American cities

men Of Georgian architecture.
AS history goes, Colonel Robert
Morris Of the Forty-seventh British
regiment and a comrade in-arms OF
General George Washington, pur
chased the property and erected this
mansion which he subsequently pre-
sented to his bride, In 1893.
General Washington occupied the
place In 1770, while 5000 volunteer
soldiers camped In the neighborhood.
During q battle which resulted in the
capture Of Fort Washington, this house
was the center Of operations. In 1777
It served as the headquarters Of the
British army. In 177S 1t was occupied
by General Baron Won Kuypausen and
his German following as Hessian
headquarters.
Following the close Of the Revolu-
tionary war, this building was familiar.
ly known as Calumet Inn. Stage
coaches operating between New York
city and Albany changed horses at this
point. President Washington and his
cabinet dlned here In 1890.
In 1910 Stephen Jumel, q French
wine merchant Of fame and fortune,
purchased this mansion, restored It to
Its condition In the time of Washing
ton. Jumel died in 1882. The following
year Nine. Jumel married the illustri-
Gus Aaron Burr who, in 1901, was
elected vice president of the United
States, and who shot and killed the
celebrated Alexander Hamilton In a
duel which was the outgrowth Of a
political feud, at Weehawken, New
Jersey, in 1904. Subsequently Attor-
ney Chase, who studied law in Burr'a
office and who married niece of Nine.
Jumel, occupied this house for 50
years.
In 1903 the property was purchased
by the city and in 1907 the Society Of
the Daughters Of the American Revolu.
tion acquired the use of the house for
a museum Of historical relics and fur
nishings of the Revolutionary period.
In the council chamber. a large octag'
onal room at the rear of the broad
hall, General Washington, 1t is said, re-
ceived visits from the sachems of the
Eve Iroquols tribes who came to offes
.heir allegiance to the cause Of liberty.
