Tappan head-quarters

“Washington’s head-quarters at Tappan. This view is from the yard, near the well. The date of its erection (1700) is made by a peculiar arrangement of the bracks in the front wall. In the large room called ‘Washington’s quarters’ the fireplace is surrounded by Dutch pictorial tiles illustrative of Scripture scenes. Indeed, the whole house remains in precisely the same condition, except what the elements have changed externally, as it was when the chief occupied it."—Lossing, 1851
