Overview

Hamilton Grange National Memorial in Harlem is the Federal-style home Alexander Hamilton completed in 1802, his only owned residence, where he spent his last years. The pale yellow house, with wide porches, was moved and restored to protect it and is now open to the public in St. Nicholas Park, with a National Park Service exhibit on Hamilton's life.
