The 1832 rowhouse preserved intact—the Tredwells’ ghost.

A house in New York, New York, Merchant’s House Museum is filed here for what the record attaches to it. The 1832 rowhouse preserved intact—the Tredwells’ ghost. The name the accounts keep returning to is Gertrude Tredwell. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend and 1 documented fact, with the verified spine filed separately from the lore. The site is open to visitors.

Merchant's is the '32 — the '29 East 4th' that's the address, the '100 years' that's the Tredwells. The 'Gertrude' is the '93 — the '1840' that's the born, the '1933' that's the died in house. The '8' is the deaths — the 'never left' that's the said, the 'piano' that's the played.
The 'intact' is the rare — the 'only family home' that's the NYC, the 'original furniture' that's the kept. The 'COVID' is the empty — the '2020' that's the closed, the 'scientific' that's the investigated. Merchant's is the haunted — the 'Landmark' that's the first, the 'National' that's the '66.
The file keeps Merchant's: the 1832 house, the Gertrude Tredwell, the 8 deaths, and the intact interior.
Merchant's House is the archive's NYC file — the preserved haunting.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Merchant's House is the archive's NYC file — the family's ghosts.
A house keeps its dead — the file's suggestion being that Merchant's hold is the intact: the 'only' that's the NYC, the '8 deaths' that's the house, and the 'never left' that's the Gertrude.
