In Washington Heights, there is a haunted mansion, considered to be one of the oldest houses in Manhattan. A disturbing history and Washington’s brief stay in the mansion have kept the mansion’s reputation and interest intact. The Morris-Jumel Mansion was originally built by a British official called Roger Morris in 1765. Morris and his wife Mary Phillipse lived together in the magnificent house for only ten years.
It had 4 full bedrooms and 4 full baths. There was a second floor along with one of the biggest basements I have ever seen. This was a kid’s dream because I could do just about anything I could imagine in that house. Now there was a plus to all of this going on and me being so young.

A night table graced each side of the bed; a dresser sat against the wall opposite the bed. In one corner, a royal blue waistcoat draped a chair back. A pair of leather riding boots sat beside it. Thomas walked over to the window to look out- it faced a marsh to the north and if you looked far right, you could see a little of the coastline

The seven rooms in the house also conveyed stages in life ending with death. These rooms were set up from east to west. This meaning that the sun comes up in the east and goes down in the west, and death comes in the darkness. "In this chamber only, the color of the windows failed to correspond with the decorations. The panes here were scarlet--a deep blood color." The guest's avoided this room because it was a sign of death.
