Hamilton Grange in its original location, pre-1889.

The 1802 home of Alexander Hamilton was originally located here at approximately West 143rd Street between Convent Avenue and Hamilton Place. Built by John McComb Jr, the two-story Federal style home was only home to Hamilton for two years before his death. The home remained in his family until the 1840s. In 1889 the home was moved south about 250 feet to 287 Convent Avenue by the St. Luke's Episcopal Church.

Notice at right the grove of trees. While Hamilton lived in the home, he had 13 sweet gum trees planted in honor of the 13 original states. When the home was moved a second time in 2008 to St. Nicholas Park, the new landscaping included a new grove of 13 trees.
