Untapped Cities takes a look at the Conference House in Tottenville, where Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Edward Rutledge met with British Admiral Lord Howe in September 1776, and the war nearly ended.

Captain Christopher Billopp, an Englishman, was the first to settle in Tottenville. He came to New York harbor with Major Edmund Andros in 1674.
It was he who built Bentley Manor around 1680, the building now called the Conference House after an 18th Century attempted peace conference held there that could have changed the course of the American Revolutionary War. #Tottenville #History #Billopp
