Dyckman Farmhouse Museum The only farmhouse in the Dutch Colonial style surviving in Manhattan, the Dyckman House is constructed of fieldstone, brick, and wood and contains the gambrel roof, spring eaves, and porch typical of rural Dutch Colonial-style buildings. The house replaced an earlier building erected by the Dyckmans that was burned in the Revolutionary War. In 1915, when the house was threatened with demolition, two Dyckman sisters initiated a restoration project (under the architectural direction of Alexander M. Welch, the husband of one of the women) and presented the house to the city. From the "Guide to New York City Landmarks", courtesy of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.
