Historic House Trust of New York City

Historic House Trust of New York City We are a non-profit providing the foundation for New York's stories through historic preservation.
(16)

In partnership with NYC Parks, the Historic House Trust advocates for, promotes, and provides expertise to preserve 23 publicly owned historic sites located throughout New York City’s five boroughs. Located on public parkland, our 23 partner historic sites are open to all and are instrumental in creating engaging programs for their surrounding communities. Ranging from modest farms to grand mansio

ns, these landmark sites provide essential windows into the lives of all New Yorkers, past and present. We are a team of historic preservation professionals that believe the structural integrity of historic buildings is the foundation of telling New York’s diverse stories. We believe historic sites are not static antiquities – they are living institutions uniquely poised to address current issues in their communities and the world while retaining their connections to the past.

This , we take a look at a comprehensive guide to our partner sites called "Historic Houses in New York City Parks" that was first published by HHT in January 1989. This map was included in the Second Edition published in 1992. Can you spot the biggest difference between then and now? While HHT helps preserve 23 historic sites today, in 1992 there were only 16 under our stewardship.

While many things have changed over the years, our mission has not. In the booklet's introductory note, former HHT Chair Timothy C. Forbes wrote: "If you listen closely, you can hear their voices. Tucked away in some of New York's most developed areas, New York's historic houses speak of times past, when orchards covered the hills of northern Manhattan and oyster boats crowded the waters around Staten Island... If you're spending a lifetime or just a few hours in the City, take time from your hurried schedule to visit the surviving remnants of yesterday, our historic houses. Listen to their stories, and find out what they have to tell us."

On June 19, 1989, Mayor Ed Koch and NYC Parks Commissioner Henry Stern gathered at Gracie Mansion to announce the creation of the Historic House Trust of New York City. At this event, they released the very first Historic Houses Passport with an intro from the Commissioner that read:

“Dear Voyager,

Most passports help people travel across borders. This one helps you travel through time… For this trip you won’t need any luggage - just a penchant for the past.”

While there were 15 houses in the original passport book, there are now 23 historic houses under our stewardship that you can visit on your tour of New York City history. In honor of , take a trip to one of our partner historic houses and thank them for the work that they do to keep history alive in our parks.

Week three of the Apprentice program comes to a close today. These young folks have been working and learning in the village's Tin Shop and Guyon-Lake-Tysen House, developing their skills in Tinsmithing and Hearth Cooking.

In the 19th century, young people would have learned domestic crafts and skills from an early age, and were often apprenticed to tradespeople who worked in their local village or town. It was essential to take on a trade to make a living and to contribute to the community, providing goods and services to neighbors. Historic Richmond Town's apprentices learn critical skills in design, fine motor skills, an appreciation for history, and make lasting friendships with their peers and staff.

Let's salute this week's cohort of Apprentices! Huzzah!

Our team had a great meeting last week at the Merchant's House Museum to discuss plans for their upcoming Exterior Restoration & Stoop Reconstruction capital project. HHT Executive Director Meredith Horsford and Architectural Conservator Amy Woodin joined museum leadership and representatives from the NYC Parks division of Architecture & Engineering and the NYC Parks Building Construction Unit to tour the site, discuss the museum's specialized needs and priorities, and learn more about the museum's vision for the future. Thanks so much to for the collaboration.

Before a capital restoration project can go into construction, HHT takes steps to ensure that the final design is effective, safe, and historically appropriate based on each unique site's needs. Topographic surveys, tree inventories, geotechnical surveys, archaeological investigations, environmental surveys, and of course, community conversations are all part of a comprehensive restoration project.

HHT is partnering with consultant for the design phase of the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum Restoration & Accessibility Project that is expected to go into construction next year. The goal of the project is to expand the museum with a historically-inspired, two-story addition originally built c. 1835 and demolished in the 1920s, providing more office space, ADA-compliant restrooms, and improved access to the first floor. The project also aims to provide universal access to the surrounding park for outdoor programming. Pictured here is consultant Linda Stone performing archaeological investigations at the site. ⛏️

Meet Stevie, one of our amazing interns who joined the Historic House Trust team this summer. We’re thrilled to have you with us!👏

“I’m a second-year graduate student in Museum Studies from the Cooperstown Graduate School. I focus on nonprofit administration, exhibit development, and historical research. Although I have family from here, this is my first time living in New York City. My favorite part about interning with HHT is the variety of projects and tasks that are all happening at once. No day at work is ever the same! When not working, I’m usually going on walks with my chihuahua, Morris, and working on my own research.”

MORRIS-JUMEL MANSION CELEBRATES FUNDING FOR RESTORATION PROJECT

Morris-Jumel Mansion and Historic House Trust of New York City (“HHT”) announce a new design and construction project at the 1765 historic site. The goal of this $2.7M project is to address areas of deterioration on the building’s exterior, complete a roof restoration, and provide universal access to the first floor of the museum with an ADA-compliant entry and restroom facilities. Consultants Page Ayres Cowley Architecture, LLC and the HHT Capital team are overseeing the project through the design phase.

The project coincides with some major initiatives already underway by Morris-Jumel Mansion, Inc., the non-profit partner that manages the museum and the site's educational programming. “As a community cultural anchor, the completion of this project will complement our work to showcase the architecture of the building and the museum’s collection of fine and decorative arts, and will provide a platform for the delivery of more inclusive content and programming to our ever-expanding audiences.” said Shiloh Holley, Executive Director of Morris-Jumel Mansion.

"This project will bring Manhattan's oldest surviving house into the 21st century by renovating the landmarked building's exterior and improving accessibility," said New York City Department of Parks & Recreation Commissioner Gabrielle Fialkoff. "We are happy to partner with the Historic House Trust to improve Morris-Jumel Mansion, thanks to funding from Mayor Bill de Blasio, Gale A. Brewer, Manhattan Borough President and Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez, and we're grateful to HHT and Morris-Jumel Mansion for their advocacy and ongoing work to re-center the site's historical narrative."
