Redfin推出「美国标志性住宅」系列:费城贝齐·罗斯故居与加尔维斯顿主教宫首批上线,纪念美国建国250周年

房产经纪公司 Redfin 10月30日在西雅图宣布,推出全新内容系列「Redfin Presents Iconic Homes of America」(美国标志性住宅),以纪念美国建国250周年,讲述在美国历史上留下印记的住宅与住在其中的人的故事。Redfin 现为 Rocket Companies(NYSE: RKT)的一部分。
该系列为每处住宅在 Redfin 网站上开设专属的「房源式」页面,与平台上的海量在售与出租房源并列呈现,内容包括沉浸式导览、详细摄影,以及曾住在这些墙内的人物的故事。每处住宅还将举办一场免费线下活动,并配有线上体验,向全美公众开放。
首批上线的两处住宅,一处是费城的贝齐·罗斯故居(Betsy Ross House),与美国国旗的诞生传说相关,讲述一位在建国时期靠手艺创业的女性;该系列的首场免费公众活动将于11月7日在贝齐·罗斯故居举行,可在 Redfin 报名。另一处是位于德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿的「1892主教宫」(1892 Bishop's Palace)。
贝齐·罗斯故居建于约1740年。Redfin 介绍,罗斯是一位为政府制作旗帜数十年的熟练女商人;这处住宅在19世纪末面临拆除时,全美民众以每人10美分会费的方式集资将其保存下来。其专属页面将超越传说本身,讲述她作为店主、职业母亲的真实人生。
主教宫建于1887至1892年间,由加尔维斯顿最具影响力的建筑师 Nicholas J. Clayton 为律师、国会议员 Walter Gresham 一家设计,全宅52个房间、面积19,086平方英尺;1923年被天主教会买下后成为 Byrne 主教的住所。宅内有手工雕刻木作、女主人 Josephine 亲手绘制的餐厅天花板壁画,以及八角形红木旋转楼梯与法国彩绘玻璃。
Rocket 首席营销官 Jonathan Mildenhall 表示,美国的故事不只写在历史书里,也写在人们梦想、创造、坚持并改变国家进程的住宅里;这一系列邀请公众重新发现这些大门背后的非凡故事。Redfin 称,各处住宅将陆续单独上线并保留在平台上至2027年底,公众也可提名有故事的住宅加入该系列。
Redfin Launches 'Iconic Homes of America': Betsy Ross House and Galveston's Bishop's Palace Debut First, Marking America's 250th Anniversary
Real estate brokerage Redfin announced in Seattle on October 30 that it is launching 'Redfin Presents Iconic Homes of America,' a new creative franchise celebrating America's 250th anniversary by spotlighting the stories of influential homes and the people who shaped the nation. Redfin is now part of Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT).
Each featured property gets a dedicated listing-style page on Redfin alongside the millions of homes for sale or rent on the site, with immersive tours, detailed photography and stories of the people who lived within its walls. Each property will also host a free in-person event, complemented by virtual experiences for people nationwide.
The franchise kicks off with two properties: the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia, a landmark associated with the creation of the American flag and a pioneering craftswoman and entrepreneur, where the first free public event will be held on November 7 with registration through Redfin; and the 1892 Bishop's Palace in Galveston, Texas.
Built around 1740, the Betsy Ross House reflects the determination of a working woman during America's founding: records show Ross was an accomplished tradeswoman who made flags for the government for decades. When the home faced demolition in the late 19th century, Americans across the country helped preserve it through 10-cent memberships. Its Redfin page looks beyond the legend to Ross as a business owner, working mother and survivor who built her life within two small, rented rooms.
Bishop's Palace was built between 1887 and 1892, designed by Nicholas J. Clayton, Galveston's most influential architect, for lawyer and congressman Walter Gresham, his wife Josephine and their seven children. The home spans 52 rooms and 19,086 square feet, and became the residence of Bishop Byrne after the Catholic Church purchased it in 1923. Its details include hand-carved woodwork, a dining room ceiling mural painted by Josephine herself, and an octagonal mahogany rotunda staircase beneath French stained glass.
"America's story isn't just written in history books. It's written in the homes where people have dreamed, created, persevered and changed the course of our nation," said Jonathan Mildenhall, Chief Marketing Officer of Rocket. Redfin said each property will debut separately and remain on Redfin through the end of 2027, and the public can nominate homes with stories worth telling for inclusion.
