The Conference House, built in the 17th Century and located at the southern most tip of New York State in Staten Island, is famous for the Peace Conference held there on September 11, 1776.
In the early 1920's this beautiful manor house was about to be razed. Through the efforts of a group of concerned citizens, a non-profit organization, The Conference House Association, was formed, and the House was saved. In 1929 the Municipal Assembly of the City of New York placed the House under the Association's aegis.
The House, a National and New York City Landmark, is the only pre-Revolutionary manor house still surviving in New York City. It stands majestically in Conference House Park (the Park celebrated it's 75th anniversary in Spring 2001) overlooking Raritan Bay.
