This is a landmark and of one of the oldest wooden houses in Brooklyn. The location (was) originally considered Canarsie (the name of Native American Indian Tribe of the area) but colonized by the early European settlers.

Great little monument to the Dutch ancestry of New York, amidst tyreshops, garages, busy roads etc. We got a private tour from the girl in charge of the educational program (in 2014).
