Dell-Tech Enterprises, Incorporated was hired by the Parks Department to conduct the necessary repair. The Cultural Resource Request for Proposal I called for archaeological monitoring of all subsurface excavation work prior to the installation of a new drainage line along the perimeter of the southern fieldstone fence line. I No cultural resource materials and/or features were uncovered during the excavation for the reconstruction of the retaining wall and installation of new drain lines, which were placed approximately sixteen (16) inches below surface. The matrix of the soil consisted almost I completely of unmortared stones that were packed together with loose dirt. It is the recommendation of this report, based on the make-up of the subsoil, that no further I cultural resource work be required if repairs to this section of the wall are required in the future.

Introduction: Between December 2004 and January 2005 cultural resource monitoring was undertaken at Roger Moms Park, home of the Morris-Jumel Mansion in New York, New York (Project Number: M073-~05M) (Figure Ol)as part of an emergency repair project. Under contract to Den-Tech Enterprises, Incorporated and the City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation (Parks), the Scope of Work called for the monitoring of the excavation and disassembly of the pre-existing collapsed retaiining wan and the installation of a new subsurface drainage Une. Work was undertaken by Alyssa Loorya, M.A., RP.A. (principle Investigator) and assisted by Christopher Ricciardi, Ph.D., RP.A.. I II Figure 0 I: Morris-Jumel Mansion During the last week of December 2004, a portion of the southern retaining wall around Roger I Moms Park collapsed (Figure 02). Parks put out an 'emergency contract to repair the two sections of wall that buckled as well as the installation of a new drainage line, approximately sixteen (16) inches below ground surface and running parallel along the wall Monitoring was requested by Parks since the Park and the Mansion are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, in keeping with the New York City Environmental Quality Review Act of 1977 (as amended) (Beame 1977). Due to the significance of the house and grounds, Parks determined that archaeological monitoring should occur for all excavation work, A documentary study was not required as part I of this emergency work. Previous archaeological investigations of the site are well documented and 'contain detailed histories. I I 1 II: Background History: As stated, due to the emergency nature of the project, a documentary study was not part of the Scope of Work for this project, There have been several other in-depth Cultural Resource projectsat the Park and Mansion that provide historical background. For detailed historical I information on. the Park and house see Stone (2000) and Pickman (1994). All previous archaeological reports were reviewed, as part of this project. I Thearea in which the present day house is situated was originaily known as the Great Marne Land. The earliest European owners of'the property were Jan Kiersen followed by James Carroll. The property, which is the second highest point in Manhattan., was purchased by Roger I Morris in 1763. Morris built the existing house between 1765 and 1770. Duringthe Revolutionary War, George W.asbington briefly used the house as a headquarters (Stone 2000:4) I and returned. for a visit following the Revohrtienary War (Moss 2005). Following several changes in ownership, the house WaS purchased by Stephen Jumel in. uno. After Jumel's passing in 1832. his widow, Eliza married Arron Burr, who still was dishonored I with regard tohis actions duringthe Revolutionary War. The house remainedin the family until the last half of the nineteenth century. By 1882 portions of the property had been sold bringing it to its current size .. The house and property were sold to the City of New York in 1903. Four I years later the Daughters of the American Revolution opened. the house as a museum (Stone 2000:5). !I Although the house remains on its original orientation, its originallyexpaasive lands had! been sold off by the twentieth. century, The house and landscape have repeatedly been modified to reflect the status of the family residing there. During the twentieth century the grounds underwent maintenance and its role today is to serve as a public park and a museum (Moss 2005).

Dueto the extreme slope of I the property it was not possible for the contractors to disassemble the wan without first excavationbehind the wall. Due to the slope and rocky nature of the grounds a baekhow was used to facilitate the excavation (Figure 04).

  • 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.

These assets range from playgrounds and large parks, to tranquil wooded areas and more than 14 miles of beaches. Parks serve as New Yorkers’ backyards, as vital meeting areas for outdoor play and recreation – but also as critical engines for economic growth and development. NYC Parks’ mission is to plan resilient and sustainable parks, public spaces, and recreational amenities, build a park system for present and future generations, and care for parks and public spaces to benefit New Yorkers across the five boroughs. Through an effort to improve the quality, accessibility, efficiency and sustainability of our city parks by increasing investment in underserved neighborhoods and expanding parkland: NYC Parks’ Community Parks Initiative, at the center of the Mayor’s plan, is completely redesigning and reconstructing dozens of parks in neighborhoods across the city with the greatest needs—35 of which are nearing the construction phase. NYC Parks is also leading in innovative park design with Parks Without Borders, a new design approach that focuses on improving park entrances, edges, and spaces adjacent to parks. By extending parks into communities, Parks Without Borders will improve New Yorkers’ access to quality parks. Ongoing work to care for our parks has: - Reconnected the City’s two most northern boroughs, Manhattan and The Bronx, when NYC Parks’ historic High Bridge was reopened.
