You Can Buy Alexander Hamilton Jr.’s Home for $12M

By Zachary Kussin

You might not get tickets to see “Hamilton” on Broadway anytime soon, but at least you can spend some money on a solid piece of Hamilton family history.

A landmarked, mixed-use townhouse at 4 St. Mark’s Place, whose first owner was Alexander Hamilton, Jr., will hit the market this week for $11.9 million, The Post can reveal.

Hamilton Jr. bought this building — known as the Hamilton-Holly House — in 1833 from its developer, Thomas E. Davis. (Davis basically developed all of St. Mark’s in the 19th century.) Three decades after father’s death in the infamous duel with Aaron Burr, Hamilton Jr. shared this spread with family members, including his wife, Eliza, and his mother, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton. She, of course, was the widow of Post founder Alexander Hamilton.

A rare surviving, intact building from the Federal period, 4 St. Mark’s is more recently known as the home of punk fashion retailer Trash and Vaudeville, which will be moving to a new location. In the ‘50s and ‘60s, the building housed performance art venues, including the Bridge Theater, which hosted Yoko Ono and The Fugs.

In all, the building measures over 10,000 square feet. The first floor and lower level have 5,668 square feet of retail; four market-rate apartments round out the package.

Eastern Consolidated’s Ron Solarz and Nataliya Stelmakh are marketing the property, with Gary Meese as the analyst for the deal.
