Anthony was a frequent visitor as the two women worked on advancing women's rights. While living in Tenafly, Stanton and Anthony collaborated on a three-volume History of Woman Suffrage. Stanton was also living in Tenafly when she attempted to vote only to be turned away at the polls in 1880. One of Stanton's daughter was married on the house's lawn.
