A pale Federal-style country house, symmetrical windows and side porches overlook a park-side exhibition lawn.
Alexander Hamilton commissioned architect John McComb Jr. to build the Grange, his Federal style country house in upper Manhattan, in 1802. He lived there only two years before the 1804 duel with Aaron Burr ended his life. As the city grew around it, the house was moved twice, in 1889 and again in 2008, to keep it standing. It now sits in St. Nicholas Park at 414 West 141st Street and reopened to the public in 2011 as a National Park Service memorial.

Pale Federal house; symmetrical facade; side porches; park setting. Exterior salon with accessible lawn route. Mood: porch light. Everything is procedural geometry with painted surfaces; nothing is a scan or a photograph. The room is an interpretation, and it hangs the New Yorkers the census recorded at this place first.
