"Aaron Burr's old crib," as HAMILTON's Lin-Manuel Miranda describes Upper Manhattan's Morris-Jumel Mansion, was built in 1765 as a summer villa for Colonel Roger Morris and his wife, Mary Philipse. But after the two Tories fled, General George Washington moved in. With a great view of Manhattan and both the Hudson and Harlem Rivers, the mansion served as temporary headquarters.

Burr moved in after the war when he married Eliza Bowen, the widow of Stephen Jumel, who purchased the house in 1810.

The popular tourist attraction is now the exclusive physical location to purchase the "Love Is Love" t-shirt from Miranda's TeeRico company.

As reported by BroadwayWorld, Lin-Manuel Miranda established an officially-licensed merchandise website, Tee-Rico, in response to the tragic events at Orlando's Pulse nightclub. The proceeds from the company's "Love Is Love," t-shirt benefit Equality Cares in Florida to support their efforts to secure equality and justice for Florida's LGBT community.
