History

The house was built in 1868 near the Tenafly train station.[2] Stanton lived in the home from 1868 to 1887, although her husband mostly resided in New York City.[1][3] Income from Stanton's speeches and writings were used to maintain the property.[2] During Stanton's time living in Tenafly, Susan B. Anthony was a frequent visitor as the two women worked on advancing women's rights.[1] While living in Tenafly, Stanton and Anthony collaborated on a three-volume History of Woman Suffrage. Stanton was also living in Tenafly when she attempted to vote only to be turned away at the polls in 1880.[4][5] One of Stanton's daughter was married on the house's lawn.[1] Stanton sold the house after the death of her husband.[4]

Stanton's home in Tenafly was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975.[1][6] Her home in Seneca Falls was earlier declared a National Historic Landmark, in 1965.

The Kahn family purchased the house in 1981, being sold within the family for 1.6 million in 2001. The house sold for $3 million in 2015 to buyers outside of the Kahn family.[7] The house remains privately owned.[5][7]

Architecture and layout

The house features seven-bedroom and is 5,449-square-foot. There are six fireplaces and ten foot high ceilings. The house was designed in the Second Empire style and has a mansard roof.[7] The house also features Colonial Revival and Victorian Mansard elements.[5] A large portico was added in the early 20th century after Stanton's ownership.[3]
