Old Stone House receives $10.9M grant
A recent grant to the Old Stone House in Park Slope will mean that more people will be able to visit it, and its historic significance and cultural events will be even more well-known.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, Brooklyn Parks Commissioner Martin Maher and Brooklyn Councilmember (and Comptroller-Elect) Brad Lander last week announced a $10.9 million investment in the Old Stone House to increase accessibility and fund preservation efforts at the historic site in the heart of Washington Park.
The funding was part of the larger, recently-passed Gowanus Neighborhood Plan, which also includes affordable housing in the area, opening up the Gowanus Canal waterfront and more.
