The
Old Stone House, also known as the Vechte-Cortelyou
House, is a replica of a Dutch stone farmhouse with a
very rich history. The original house was built by Claes
Arentson Vechte,
a Dutch immigrant, beside the Gowanus Creek in 1699. Its
two-foot thick wall of fieldstone and brick and its heavily
shuttered windows protected the family. The Vechtes
prospered, farming the rich bottomland beneath the Heights
of Guam (the hills of Park Slope), harvesting oysters
in the Gowanus Creek (now the Gowanus Canal), and ferrying
-produce to market in Manhattan. At that time, this area
was in the village of Gowanus within the old Town of Breukelen.
