Chrysalis Archaeological Consultants, Inc. December 2007 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY From August through October 2007 Chrysalis Archaeological Consultants (Chrysalis) undertook the monitoring of infrastructural upgrades at Dyckman Farmhouse (Dyckman), New York, New York (Figure 01) on behalf of Quigg Development (Quigg), the City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation (Parks) and the Historic House Trust of New York City (HHT). Quigg was contracted by Parks to undertake all work defined in Project Number: MG6-07M. The Cultural Resource Request for Proposal called for archaeological monitoring of subsurface excavation work due to the historic nature of the property and the sensitivity demonstrated by previous archaeological investigations. The purpose of the investigation was to: 1) determine whether the project area contained prehistoric and/or historic resources, 2) determine if additional archaeological work was needed for any resources located during the monitoring; 3) develop a historical and archaeological context(s) for interpretation and evaluation of any archaeological resources that may have been present within the areas of potential effect (APE); and 4) provide all necessary services related to the cultural resource process during the overall project at the Dyckman Farmhouse. All work was conducted in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s “Protection of Historic and Cultural Properties” (36 CFR 800). This study was conducted pursuant to the Standards for Cultural Resources Investigations and the Curation of Archaeological Collections in New York State (NYAC 1994) and the City of New York - Landmarks Preservation Commission’s (LPC) Guidelines for Archaeology. Alyssa Loorya, M.A., R.P.A. served as Principal Investigator for the project. Two area, A and B, were excavated for infrastructural improvements. A small amount of historic material remains were uncovered from disturbed contexts. The material remains cannot be directly related to the occupation and/or activities at the Dyckman house. Rather, they appear to have been redeposited due to previous ground disturbances. Based on the stratigraphic record and the material remains recovered, no further archaeological testing should occur in the areas that this project excavated. However, if future excavations are proposed in areas that were not monitored as part of this project, monitoring and/or testing should occur. i.

Introduction From August through October 2007 Chrysalis Archaeological Consultants (Chrysalis) undertook the monitoring of infrastructural upgrades at Dyckman Farmhouse (Dyckman), New York, New York (Figure 01) on behalf of Quigg Development (Quigg), the City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation (Parks) and the Historic House Trust of New York City (HHT). Quigg was contracted by Parks to undertake all work defined in Project Number: MG6-07M. Figure 01: Dyckman Farmhouse The Cultural Resource Request for Proposal called for archaeological monitoring of subsurface excavation work due to the historic nature of the property and the sensitivity demonstrated by previous archaeological investigations. The purpose of the investigation was to: 1) determine whether the project area contained prehistoric and/or historic resources, 2) determine if additional archaeological work was needed for any resources located during the monitoring; 3) develop a historical and archaeological context(s) for interpretation and evaluation of any archaeological resources that may have been present within the areas of potential effect (APE); and 4) provide all necessary services related to the cultural resource process during the overall project at the Dyckman Farmhouse. All work was conducted in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s “Protection of Historic and Cultural Properties” (36 CFR 800). This study was conducted pursuant to the Standards for Cultural Resources Investigations and the Curation of Archaeological Collections in New York State (NYAC 1994) and the City of New York - Landmarks Preservation Commission’s (LPC) Guidelines for Archaeology. Alyssa Loorya, M.A., R.P.A. served as Principal Investigator for the project. 1 II. The Project The Dyckman Farmhouse/Park is located at West 204th Street and Broadway in New York (New York County), New York (Figure 02). The project plans called for irrigation improvements to the property and the installation of a new barrier fence (Figure 03). The proposed irrigation line was installed from the Farmhouse to the Broadway property line and included a catch basin adjacent to the brick path along the southern side of the house. A barrier fence was installed along the outer perimeter of the brick path on the Broadway side of the property. This would provide added safety and security from the current steep incline to street level. Figure 02: Dyckman Farmhouse/Park location 2 Figure 03: Project Map 3 III. Previous Archaeological Undertakings A Phase I Documentary Study and Field Monitoring Report was completed by Linda Stone (Stone 2003). Stone's brief report documented the prehistoric and historic history of the site. Her report concluded that there is a high potential for the recovery of prehistoric and historic materials (Stone 2003). The area was widely occupied during the prehistoric period. Several documented Native American sites lie within a half mile of the project area. During the American Revolutionary War, several skirmishes took place in the area and enemy soldiers encamped nearby. In 1784, William Dyckman constructed the Dyckman Farmhouse (Figure 04). It was once part of a large farm of more than 250 acres. The house has been a public museum since 1916 (Stone 2003). Figure 04: Shed to Dyckman House Stone monitored the installation of new utility lines between the house and street in 2003. Although no significant artifacts were uncovered, she concluded that any future subsurface excavation(s) should be monitored due to the high potential for the recovery of prehistoric and historic materials as based on the documentary study (Stone 2003). The current contract did not require additional documentary research. 4 Figure 05 – Detailed site map of excavated areas 5 IV. Archaeological Monitoring Archaeological monitoring occurred in two phases. Phase 1 monitored excavation for the new irrigation line (Area A) and the second monitored excavation for the proposed fence footings (Area B) (see Figure 03 – the overall site map and Figure 05 – close-up site map of the monitored area)1.

  • Hendrick I. Lott House
    landmarks Preservation Commission October 3, 1989, Designation List 221 LP-1705 HENDRICK I. I0IT HOUSE, 1940 East 36th Street, Borough of Brooklyn. East wing built 1720; main section and west wing built 1800. I.andmark Site: Borough of Brooklyn Tax Map Block 8502, IDt 20. On February 7, 1989, the I.andmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a I.andrnark of the Hendrick I. IDtt House and the proposed designation of the related I.andrnark Site (Item No. 10). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Six witnesses spoke in favor of designation. 'Tu.To representatives of the owner spoke in opposition to designation. The Commission has received several letters and other statements in support of designation as well as a statement opposing designation from the representative of the owner. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Summary The Hendrick I. IDtt House is a rare surviving example of a D.ltch Colonial house in Brooklyn and one of the finest of the type. Built in 1800 by Hendrick I. IDtt, the house incorporates a section of the 1720 house built by his grandfather Johannes IDtt. With the exception of portions of the Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House, this is the earliest surviving eighteenth­ century fabric in any of the D.ltch Colonial houses in Brooklyn. Among the traditional characteristics of the Hendrick I. IDtt House are its southern orientation, the garnbrel roof with a spring eave fanning the roof of the colUilU1ed porch, the end chimneys, and the shingled siding. The synunetrical composition of the house is unparall_eled in any other examples of D.ltch Colonial architecture in Brooklyn.

  • House Overview
    The Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House House Overview The oldest house in New York City and one of the oldest in the country, the Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House was built between ca. 1652 and 1819 and is one of the few structures still standing from the period of Dutch rule in the American colonies. The Wyckoff House, a national historic landmark, is also the first building to be designated a historic landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. A typical example of the Dutch‐American farmhouses of the late 17th and 19th centuries as adapted to life on Long Island, the house is, in essence, two structures — the Old Kitchen, in what is believed to be the original 17th‐century portion of the house; and the eighteenth century addition, which includes two parlors. In 1819, the roof was raised to enlarge the rear of the house to include three bedrooms. That same year, the central hallway separating the two parlors was created. Thus, as a whole, the house is restored to look as it did in 1819. An excellent example of the Dutch Colonial vernacular style, the House has a number of remarkable features, including an H‐frame structure, shingled walls, split Dutch doors, and deep, flared “spring” eaves. The Old Kitchen houses a rare jambless hearth, a very fine common fireplace style among the Dutch in the American colonies. Various cooking pots and utensils are on display, along with earthenware dishes, pewter vessels, a butter churn, cider press, and work table. The kitchen also has a significant display of colonial and nineteenth‐century lighting devices.

  • The Story of Pieter and the Wyckoff Farmhouse
    The Story of Pieter and the Wyckoff Farmhouse The Wyckoff farmhouse was built around 1652 and was home to the family of Pieter Claesen Wyckoff, his wife Grietje van Ness, their 11 children, and eight generations of their descendants. Who is Pieter? Pieter grew up near the city of Norden. Today, Norden is in Germany, but during Pieter’s life, it was part of the Holy Roman Empire. Unable to read or write, and without any family of his own, Pieter agreed to travel to North America and work on van Rensselaer’s farm for six years as an indentured servant. Pieter’s Journey On September 25, 1636, Pieter set sail from Amsterdam on the Rensselaerswyck with 37 other travelers. It was a challenging journey, and the ship was damaged and delayed many months by terrible weather. Finally, the ship reached the small town of New Amsterdam (New York City) on March 4, 1637. New Amsterdam (New York City) as it might have appeared to a young Pieter Claesen as he approached on his way to Rensselaerswyck. Image from New York Public Library. Once the Hudson river was clear of ice, the Rensselaerswyck set sail along the Hudson River, landing in van Rensselaer’s patroonship (farm) on April 7, 1637. Pieter helped work Rensselaer’s land on Papscanee Island (near present-day Albany) for six long years, transforming this wilderness into a productive farm. A Farm of One’s Own Finally, on April 7, 1643, Pieter completed his contract with Rensselaer and became free. He remained a farmer at Rensselaerswyck for several more years, eventually marrying another resident of the patroonship, Grietje van Ness.

  • For Several Decades, Brooklyn Was a City That Looked Backward With
    Fillmore Real Estate Brooklyn Decades ago, Brooklyn was a city that looked with nostalgia to the glory days of Coney Island, the Victorian Gold Coast, and the Brooklyn Dodgers. Some even gave up on their neighborhoods and moved away. But others―committed residents, nonprofit community development groups, artists, and a few hearty pioneers― refused to budge and stayed behind to rebuild. Their work was reinforced by innovative New York City policies, the Community Reinvestment Act, which encouraged bank lending, and housing tax credits, which encouraged new development. Then the private sector came along, liked what it saw, and the result has been one of the hottest real estate booms in the country. Brooklyn’s optimistic business community, elected officials, and local residents are a special breed. They believe in the potential of all people in the borough and continue to work to ensure that everyone benefits from its renaissance. They also recognize the strength of Brooklyn’s diversity and appreciate hardworking newcomers who unpack their dreams here as millions have done before them. As a result, Brooklyn today is a city that is looking forward, and there is much to look forward to. • The waterfront, vibrant until the 1950s when the rise of the interstate highway system robbed the maritime industry of its monopoly on moving goods, is being restored to its 19th Century glory as a destination for tourists, parks, housing, and even cruise lines; • Luxury condominiums are replacing vacant lots in formerly forlorn areas; • The City is changing

IMMEDIATE RELEASE Brooklyn History on Display at Historic Site in Bensonhurst BROOKLYN - When people interested in the history of Brooklyn visit the New Utrecht Reformed Church for the Brooklyn History Fair Saturday, Nov. 5, they'll be able to poke their heads through a side door, but not go in. Scaffolding, in place since December 2003, will block their way. But the building where activities will be centered also has its share of Brooklyn history! "We just couldn't take a chance that someone will get hurt," says Robert Buonvino, president of Friends of Historic New Utrecht , as a campaign to raise nearly $2 million to renovate and repair the 1828 structure continues. "We hope construction can begin in the spring," he added. The fair, an annual event, is sponsored by Borough President Marty Markowitz and Brooklyn Borough Historian Ron Schweiger. Hosts are the Friends organization and the church, which was founded in 1677. Instead of the sanctuary, where hundreds of New York City school children participated in cultural-educational programs until the building was closed, the adjacent Parish House, itself a historic landmark noted for its architecture, will be the center of fair activity, with more than a dozen historical groups and museums presenting Brooklyn memorabilia, photos, documents, artifacts and maps.
