Dutch Houses in Brooklyn

Shelley Bernstein @ 8:46 am

When John published his post about his own Dutch house in Brooklyn, he also kindly provided a list of all the Dutch houses in the area that are still standing. Clicking the markers in the map below will take you to the address and information about each house.

John has also provided several web resources:

Old Dutch Houses of Brooklyn, Maud Esther Dillard (Brooklyn, 1945)

Lefferts Historic House (Prospect Park Website)

The Wyckoff House Museum

Lott House Restoration and Information

In my own travels on the web for this project, I noticed that Christopher Gray wrote this article for the New York Times about John and his house:

    You may already know that the Brooklyn Public Library Historic Brooklyn Collection has the Ogden Colllection of 101 photographs taken in 1914 by George S Ogden a local doctor. Many of these homes are among the subjects of the Ogden Collection including two churches, a school and a smokehouse.
