About Merchant's House Museum
Other names for the Merchant's House Museum are the Seabury Tredwell House and the Old Merchant's House. This historic house museum sits at 29 East Fourth Street in NoHo, a Manhattan neighborhood. The hatter Joseph Brewster built it during 1831 and 1832. Its four stories rise behind a brick facade in the Federal style, and the interior is Greek Revival. No other 19th-century home in Manhattan keeps both its original exterior and its original interior.
Brewster put up the house as a speculative development and sold it in 1835 to Seabury Tredwell, a merchant, and he shared it with his family and servants. It stayed in the Tredwell family until the youngest child, Gertrude, died in 1933. A distant relative, George Chapman, then bought it and turned it into a museum, which opened in 1936.
Features include a raised basement, a slate roof, a rear garden and a front door at the top of a stoop. A family room and kitchen occupy the basement, two parlors the first floor, and bedrooms the upper floors. A secret passageway in the house sheltered fugitive slaves on the Underground Railroad. New York City has designated both the facade and the interior as landmarks, and the building is also a National Historic Landmark.

- Hidden among tall blocks
- Large buildings close in on this narrow house, which is easiest to see from the south and west. A bigger print size helps its facade and rooftop details read clearly.
- Tiny dormers and chimneys
- The steep roof has small dormers and chimney shapes. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps them on larger prints, and 0.12–0.16 mm layers keep them crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- Merchant's House Museum is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. Merchant's House Museum takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
