The Hancock House was a gift to The New York State Historical Association (NYSHA) from native son and philanthropist Horace Moses. He built the house as a repository for the purpose of perpetuating "American Traditions in History and the Fine Arts," and it served in this capacity for many years as the NYSHA "Headquarters House," although it can no longer claim this title. This imposing Georgian mansion is a replica of Thomas Hancock's (uncle to John Hancock) Beacon Hill residence built in 1737 and 1741, and demolished in 1863.
