The Merchants House Museum is a house with Greek Revival architecture converted into a museum. Built in 1832 close to Washington Square, it was inhabited for 100 years by a family of merchants (Merchants, hence its name). It shows how a wealthy family and their servants lived four Irish in New York in the mid 19th century.
