Theoria: thanks much for the post and ping! GREAT find...I have visited the mansion on 3 occasions. It is one of the rare colonial-era buildings that survive in Manhattan. For RevWar and/or General Washington buffs, it is a must see when in NYC.

Read about the mansion here.

Washington watched NYC burn from that second floor balcony.

Another nugget, another gem of American colonial history...I so look forward to this forum. It transports me back in time and I just love taking the trip! Thank you for making that possible.

Terrific story. Thanks for posting and pinging. The Keno twins are my favorites on Antique Roadshow.

The Widow Jumel had terrible taste in men. She remarried Aaron Burr, who lived in the mansion.

Will have to check this out, if ever in NYC, again. Thanks for the wiki link ;-)
