Lott. It incorporates a kitchen wing from 1720 and sits on a three-quarter-acre lot.","why_significant":"It is one of the very few remaining Dutch Colonial-style farmhouses in New York City. It shows Federal-period influence in its windows, dormers and entrance moldings. It is also tied to one of Brooklyn's oldest Dutch families and stayed in the same family through its history.","narrative":"This farmhouse at 1940 East 36th Street in Brooklyn combines two building campaigns. Johannes Lott built the original house in 1720 on a farm he bought in Flatlands in 1719. In 1800 his grandson Hendrick I. Lott built a new main house in traditional Dutch Colonial form, moving the 1720 kitchen to the eastern end as a wing. The two-and-one-half-story center section has a high gambrel roof that curves over a portico with four round wooden columns, plus dormers and long cedar shingle siding. Windows and entrance moldings show Federal period influence. A veranda was added on the north side before 1860. The house is valued as one of very few Dutch Colonial farmhouses left in New York City, and as a Colonial-era residence held by one family for its entire history. Postwar attached homes now surround the three-quarter-acre lot, which a wooden picket fence encloses.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Henrick I.
