  • Dyckman House Stands As the Last Typical Dutch Colonial Farmhouse Left on Manhattan Island
    Landmarks Preservation Commission July 12, 1967, Number 3 LP-0309 DYC~~ HOUSE, Broadway between West 204th Street and West 207th Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built about 1783. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 2241, Lvt 35. On June 14, 1966, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Dyclonan House and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site. (Item No. 41). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Two witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION JJ[D ANALYSIS Today the Dyckman House stands as the last typical Dutch Colonial farmhouse left on Manhattan Island. Built of fieldstone, brick and wood, this Eighteenth Century house replaced one of 1748 which was destroyed by the British in the Revolutionary War. Descendants of the Dyclonan family purchased and restored the house with period furnishings, presenting it to the City in 1915 which now manages it as a museum and park. It is a modest dwelling with an unpretentious charm and warmth. Architecturally, it is a country farmhouse of the period, at its best. Perched on a small landscaped hillock, with a sturdy fieldstone wall enclosing the property, it is a valued treasure of our architectural legacy. Built in 1783, tho structure has a few features and details su~gesting earlier construction. It is believed that some of the materials salvaged from the 1748 house were used in erecting this farmhouse. The one and one-half story dwelling with high basement, has a sweeping low-pitched gambrel roof, curved out over a full porch.

  • Washington Heights Community Directory
    Washington Heights Community Resource Directory New York State Psychiatric Institute Center of Excellence for Cultural Competence May 2008 Community Profile: Washington Heights and Inwood A survey of New York City residents found that people who report having significant emotional distress are more likely to engage in unhealthy behaviors, such as getting no exercise, binge drinking, smoking, and eating a poor diet. Similarly, New Yorkers with significant emotional distress experience high rates of chronic illness, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, asthma, and diabetes. An added difficulty is that neighborhoods in New York with the lowest incomes often have the highest rates of significant emotional distress, often adding to the burden on these already underserved communities (New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, 2003). The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has conducted a number of community health surveys to assess the health and well-being of New Yorkers. Here, we present some of the factors important to the physical and mental health of the communities of Washington Heights and Inwood, to serve as background for the services listed in this directory. Washington Heights and Inwood: The population of Inwood and Washington Heights (I/WH) at the 2000 census was 270,700. More than half of the residents of these communities (51%) were born outside the United States, compared to 36% for New York City as a whole. Figure 1 shows the countries of origin for foreign-born members of Community District 12 (which is made up of Inwood and Washington Heights), while Table 1 lists foreign-born residents by country of origin.

    Mayor’s Office of Technology and Innovation Department of Records and Information Services NYC Department of Records and Information Services and the Mayor’s Office of the Chief Technology Officer announce a searchable public portal to official New York City agency social media posts. November 2, 2017 NEW YORK — The New York City Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS) and the Mayor’s Office of the Chief Technology Officer (MOCTO) advance transparency in City government information through the creation of an online archive of all official New York City agency social media posts using the Archive Social platform: http://nyc.gov.archivesocial.com/. The social media archive furthers transparency goals and is aligned with the Mayor's promise to expand and facilitate access to government information by proactively making all posts available online. Beginning in 2011, when the City launched a digital road map, City agencies have continuously expanded the use of social media as a means of communication. Social media is used to provide real-time information in emergencies, such as Hurricane Sandy, to engage with constituents in direct dialogues, and to share messaging. The site offers access to 362 accounts associated with 44 agencies across 15 social media outlets including Facebook, Flickr, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter, Vimeo, and Youtube. The site was developed by Archive Social which also created the Obama administration’s social media archive. “The social media posted by City agencies are equivalent to telegrams from the 19th and early 20th century. Highlighting initiatives, showcasing images, the platform offers a quick survey of the key issues City agencies are grappling with.
