This is a helpful model that shows you what's where. The Brick House is the oldest part of the house and started to be built in 1789 when Gallatin bought the property. In 1798, he added the Frame House. While he was on assignment in Paris, his son supervised the addition of the Stone House which was nearly finished by the time he returned in 1823. The Stone Kitchen, which is now the entrance for the visitor center, was added in 1824. The lower right was built around 1895 as was the stable area on the right. In 1900, the top part was added. |
