The mansion is located on a parcel known as “Mount Morris” from which the Harlem River, the Bronx, Long Island Sound, the Hudson River and the Jersey Palisades are visible. It is located within the boundaries of the Jumel Terrace Historic District.
The mansion also overlooked Coogan's Hollow and the baseball/football stadium known as the Polo Grounds during its existence from the late 1880s to the early 1960s. The mansion is sometimes visible in old pictures of the ballfield that show Coogan's Bluff, such as the one shown here taken in 1905.
