“Haunted” cocktail party brings new faces to Marine Park’s historic Lott House
BY NOAH SINGER
MARINE PARK — The Hendrick I. Lott House’s annual Halloween party offered guests a rare opportunity to see the house’s interior, including rooms on its second floor, all while enjoying cocktails, food and costumes.
Currently untouched since 1989, the 300-year-old Marine Park house’s interior is in such a state of deterioration that it’s rarely open to the public. Torn and disintegrating wallpaper hangs from cracked walls, and gaps in the ceiling reveal skeletal wooden beams.
