The Elizabeth Cady Stanton House in Tenafly, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, is where Elizabeth Cady Stanton lived from 1868 to 1887, her most active years as a women's rights activist.[3] She had previously lived in Seneca Falls, New York and Boston, Massachusetts.

## History

[edit]

The house was built in 1868 near the Tenafly train station.[4] Stanton lived in the home from 1868 to 1887, although her husband mostly resided in New York City.[3][5] Income from Stanton's speeches and writings were used to maintain the property.[4] During Stanton's time living in Tenafly, Susan B. Anthony was a frequent visitor as the two women worked on advancing women's rights.[3] 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.[6][7] One of Stanton's daughter was married on the house's lawn.[3] Stanton sold the house after the death of her husband.[6]

Stanton's home in Tenafly was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975.[3][8] 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.[9] The house remains privately owned.[7][9]

## Architecture and layout

[edit]

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.[9] The house also features Colonial Revival and Victorian Mansard elements.[7] A large portico was added in the early 20th century after Stanton's ownership.[5]
