Neighborhood Gallery The Perkins House – 1909 The Perkins House was built by Dr. Nathan Perkins, pastor of the Congregational Church during the American Revolution. The property was sold to Paul Hamilton in the 1830s. Hamilton died in 1851, leaving his property to his sons, Alexander & Paul Jr. In 1857 the Hamiltons sold the 75-acre farm to Cornelius Vanderbilt, Sr., nicknamed "The Commodore,” an American business magnate who built his wealth in railroads and shipping. The Commodore’s son Cornelius, Jr. and his wife Ellen lived in the Perkins House from 1857 to 1872, when Ellen died. Cornelius, Jr. sold the property back to the Hamiltons and Alexander Hamilton then sold the Perkins House to Erastus Gilbert. Gilbert moved the Perkins House onto his property near the west side of present day Vanderbilt Road. The Perkins House is moved again, in the Summer of 1909, to its current location at 776 Farmington Avenue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/682a188b1d05a1697981274a/4352b973-368b-4118-a735-0c2245b4503a/IMG_0365.jpeg Ep. 4: Hamilton Heights/West Hill Neighborhood Gallery The Perkins House – 2024 The Perkins House was built by Dr. Nathan Perkins, pastor of the Congregational Church during the American Revolution.
