What is recorded here
Reputed birthplace of Andrew Jackson on Magill's Avenue, the blue plaque points to a house that shaped America. The seventh President carried Antrim blood into White House history, turning a quiet Irish lane into a transatlantic bridge. Steel and glass may have replaced the original walls, but the claim remains written in ceramic and paint.
This blue commemorative plaque records: Reputed site of the ancestral home of Andrew Jackson President of the U.S.A. 1829-1837
Andrew Jackson was the seventh President of the United States, serving from 1829 to 1837, and is remembered for his expansion of executive power and policies that led to the forced relocation of Native American tribes.
