Einstein lived in a home on Mercer Street with his stepdaughter Margot until his death in 1955. 
The house, which contained the family's furniture brought from Germany shortly after Einstein 
came to America, was bequeathed to the Institute upon Margot's death in 1986. 
It was expressed at that time that the home not be used in any manner as a memorial to Einstein. 
The residence remains private and is owned by a member of the Institute's Faculty. 
The bequest of the Einstein residence was one of the first planned gifts to the Institute. 
In 1996, the Einstein Legacy Society was founded to honor those who name the Institute in their will 
and those who make a planned gift.
