Hendrick I. Lott House, 1923.

In the tidy Marine Park neighborhood stands the Hendrick I. Lott House. With its one-story wings, it maintains the appearance of a relatively humble Dutch farmhouse but has a large central hall and elegant Neoclassical ornamentation. Like the Lefferts, the Lotts were one of the county's wealthiest families, and this substantial Dutch-American farmhouse was at the center of a 200-acre farm. The Lott House has the distinction of being the longest continuously inhabited Dutch-American farmhouse in Brooklyn- Ella Suydam, daughter of Jennie Lott, died here in 1989. The city of New York acquired the property in 2002 and completed an extensive exterior restoration of the house in 2008. The house and grounds are preserved by New York City's Historic House Trust.
