The room where it happened? Well this is the floor where it happened - at the Morris-Jumel Mansion. It was built in 1765 by Roger Morris, a British military officer, and served as a headquarters for both sides in the American Revolution. Between September 14 and October 20, 1776, General George Washington used the mansion as his temporary headquarters after his army was forced to evacuate Brooklyn Heights following their loss to the British Army under the command of General William Howe in the Battle of Long Island. The house is one of the major remaining landmarks of Battle of Harlem Heights,after which it became the headquarters of British Lieutenant General Sir Henry Clinton, and the Hessian commander Baron Wilhelm von Knyphausen. It's still there and you should check it out - an amazingly preserved house and museum. During its history, the Morris–Jumel Mansion hosted many other distinguished visitors, including dinner guests John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and John Quincy Adams. Maybe even HM himself - who knows. #StandForSomething #newyorkcity #morrisjumelmansion #HerculesMulligan #rumandrye #standforsomething #layersofflavors #rum #rye #newyorkcityhistory #wecanbeheroes #alexanderhamilton #linmanuelmiranda
