The Hendrick I. Lott House, built in 1720, is set to undergo extensive renovations to become Marine Park's first museum, focusing on its rich history and the Lott family. Expected to take about 18 months, the renovation will modernize the infrastructure while preserving historical elements. The Friends of the Lott House, a dedicated volunteer group, plays a key role in restoration efforts, aided by significant funding from NYC Council. The project emphasizes meticulous documentation and reproduction of any irreparable structures to honor the house's heritage.
"We're very much looking forward to the modernization," Loorya told Brooklyn Paper, noting that all renovations will prioritize preserving the historic fabric and salvageable materials on the property.
