Dyckman Farmhouse, 1931.

The Dyckman Farmhouse (now a house museum) was once the residence of the estate that was more than 250 acres. It is the oldest remaining farmhouse in Manhattan, having been constructed circa 1785. The Dutch Colonial style house was built after the previous Dyckman homestead on the Harlem River near 210th Street was destroyed during the Revolutionary War.

The house was sold away from the Dyckman family in the 1860s but after decades of occupation by rental tenants, the house was in disrepair. Two Dyckman sisters purchased the house back in 1915 and began an extensive restoration. The house was then donated to the city for use as a museum of colonial life and was furnished with original Dyckman family furnishings.
