Hendrick I. Lott House, Dutch colonial residence in Marine Park, Brooklyn, United States
The Hendrick I. Lott House features steep gables, hand-hewn beams, and Federal-style dormer windows within its symmetrical layout at 1940 East 36th Street.
Built in 1800, the house incorporates sections of the original 1720 homestead constructed by Johannes Lott, who served in the New York Colonial Assembly.
The Lott family freed their slaves by 1805, preceding New York State's 1827 abolition, and archaeological findings suggest the house served the Underground Railroad movement.
The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation manages the property through the Hendrick I. Lott House Preservation Association for educational tours and historical programs.
Archaeological excavations revealed spiritual artifacts beneath the floorboards, indicating African religious practices of individuals who lived in the house.
