Miracle on Fourth Street
Miracle on Fourth Street is the story of the preservation of a family home that belonged to one of the early merchants of New York City. Lived in by one family for almost 100 years, the house was preserved as a museum upon the death of the last family member. The book recounts the struggle of the founder of the museum to realize his quixotic vi- sion, the critical intervention of an architect who devoted his life to an authentic struc- tural restoration, and the dedication of a group of women who would not give up their goal of reclaiming the beauty of the original furnishings. It is a story of creative solutions to structural calamities, heartbreaking setbacks, dis- appointing personality conflicts, and the current stewards' triumph over a final brutal assault on the building that quite literally could have brought the house down. Now known as the Merchant's House Museum, the landmarked site affords over 15,000 visitors a year a unique window into mid-nineteenth domestic life of the merchant elite of New York City.
Covered Wagon Odyssey
A combination of a daily diary written by Mary Knapp during the covered wagon trip from Abilene, Kansas to Marion County, Illinois in early 1890, current research of historical records, interviews with surviving family members, and plausible fiction.
An Old Merchant's House
On East Fourth Street in New York City, there is a Hidden Treasure. Visitors climb the stoop, ring the bell, and magically step into the past. Lived in by one family for 100 years, The Merchant's House Museum is still the way it was in 1850-with its original furniture and personal family possessions, including dresses worn by the eight women in the family. This book tells how members of the merchant elite really lived at the time when New York City became the commercial emporium of the nation.
