caption_attribution_description: English: House of Major General of the Continental Army Philip Schuyler, part of the Saratoga National Historic Park
context_page_description: The Schuyler House or General Schuyler House was built in November 1777 over 29 days for General Philip Schuyler. Schuyler was Alexander Hamilton's father-in-law. It is now part of Saratoga National Historical Park. The British Army occupied the house during the American Revolution and burned it down upon their retreat under the command of General John Burgoyne.
  After the British surrender it was rebuilt, including with salvaged glass, nails, locks and hinges recovered from the burned home. General Schuyler conducted his business affairs from the home. It has been visited by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, the Marquis de Lafayette and President Franklin Roosevelt. It was given to the U.S. government. It has no electricity or running water and remains largely as it was in 1777. The home is open from late May to Labor Day.
