Hamilton Fish House (also known as Nicholas and Elizabeth Stuyvesant Fish House) is where Hamilton Fish, future Governor and Senator of New York, was born and resided from 1808 - 1838.[4] It is located at 21 Stuyvesant Street, Manhattan, New York City, New York. It was built by Petrus Stuyvesant around 1804 as a wedding present to his daughter, Elizabeth, and his son-in-law, Nicholas Fish, parents of Hamilton.[5] This is one of 5 houses owned by the family on their private lane.
Petrus hosted General Lafayette as a dinner guest at the house in 1824.[4]
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975.[1],[6],[7]
