A comparison of the advertisement with the Randel Map shows that the physical situation had changed very little in thirty years. Orchards had evidently rebuilt on the site of the mansion destroyed in 1777. The new house, a large one with a hipped roof, stood on a knoll about 400 feet from the river, a long distance back from the road. To the north of the house, a farm house and other buildings, accurately described in the advertisement on 1779. A dock is shown on the Randel Map. Perhaps it was the landing place of the troops on that November night in 1777. | A comparison of the advertisement with the Randel Map shows that the physical situation had changed very little in thirty years.

+ | **Note: | ||
+ | It has been quite hard tracking down exact details, as most accounts jump from De Lancey straight to Henry Brockholst Livingston - the latter having build his property on the corner of W.90th and Riverside. Yet, as can be seen by the above maps, the Orchard property was probably located on the south-side of W.88th. | ||
