Fascinating archaeological discovery at NYC's Conference House! During preparation for roof restoration, materials testing revealed original 17th-century mortar in the attic walls - confirming it dates to the house's construction around 1680. This 350-year-old building material survived centuries while the rest of the structure underwent changes.
