James Merrill House-28.jpg

THE HOUSE

​A National Landmark

The building and Merrill’s apartment on the 3rd and 4th floors were designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016. The streetscape commercial tenants—two of whom have been there 50 years and knew Merrill as their landlord and friend—and the second-floor rental apartments maintain their late Victorian façade and floor plans.

The building remains much as Merrill left it and still conjures the poet’s aura.

​

PLEASE NOTE: THE HOUSE IS ONLY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR ON DESIGNATED OPEN HOUSE DAYS
