On this site stood the home, 1778-1780, of Juan de Miralles (1715-1780) the first Spanish diplomatic representative to the United States of America. He died April 28, 1780, while visiting General George Washington at his Morristown headquarters. The same home became the residence of his successor, Francisco Rond?n, who lent it to General Washington for the winter of 1781-1782.

Through these officials Spanish military and financial assistance was channeled to the American Patriot.
