historic place
The Hubbard House in Brooklyn, New York, is a historic place. Nelly Johnson Hubbard built this Dutch-American farmhouse around 1830 to 1835. It is a rare surviving example of early nineteenth-century Dutch-American architecture in Brooklyn. The house features traditional H-bent construction, a gabled roof, and clapboard siding. Gravesend carpenter-builder Lawrence Ryder is tentatively attributed as its builder. In 1904, Vincenzo Lucchelli purchased the property. The Lucchelli family added a two-story wing in 1924, designed by Salvati & Le Quornik, which included a sleeping porch. The Hubbard House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. It was designated a New York City Landmark on January 13, 2009. This house offers a look into Brooklyn's Dutch-American architectural history.
