Step behind the scenes and join us for an exclusive photography tour of the Hendrick I. Lott House. The house, which is currently closed to the public, is a living time capsule of New York City’s history and will explore the 283 years of one of Brooklyn’s oldest families.
This photography experience will give you a rare opportunity to learn more about the history of the Lott family, their farmhouse, and one of the oldest settled neighborhoods in Brooklyn. As you walk through and photograph the building, you will have an in-depth look at three centuries of architectural fabric. Professional photographer Andrea Phox will be on hand to assist and offer tips on how to best capture the fascinating spaces!
