On Wednesday September 24th at 11:00am EST, Zaskorski & Associates Architects will present a Zoom lecture about the restoration of the historic Cornelius Van Wyck House, located in Douglaston Manor, Queens. Overlooking Little Neck Bay, it was designated as a landmark by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1966 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Built in the early 18th century, the Cornelius Van Wyck House is one of the few remaining examples of Dutch colonial-era architecture in Queens. Its significance lies both in its architectural design and its connection to the early history of New York City. The Van Wyck family, prominent in the area’s development, originally constructed the house as a rural estate fronting Little Neck Bay, where trade with native peoples took place. Over the years, the Cornelius Van Wyck House has remained a symbol of the neighborhood’s heritage. The restoration of the Cornelius Van Wyck House has had a profound impact on the Douglaston community. Carlo Zaskorski, along with Jason Gross and Jason Galindo will brief us on the restoration project which aimed to restore the house to its original dignity while addressing the structural and aesthetic issues that had developed over time. The restoration was executed with approvals from the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) to ensure all modifications adhered to landmark preservation guidelines. This lecture is free.
