You Say You Want A Revolution: Lefferts Historic House in Prospect Park
Eye On Real Estate
Lefferts Homestead was burned down right before the Battle of Brooklyn. By Americans.
Patriot troops didn’t want the invading British to get their hands on the family’s farm.
The white Dutch Colonial building that replaced the farmhouse was constructed before 1783, and was located near present-day Flatbush Avenue and Maple Street, according to Prospect Park Alliance’s website.
