Mayor Bill de Blasio on Thursday presented Park Slope’s historic Old Stone House with a giant check for nearly $11 million, intent on preserving and restoring the centuries-old landmark rife with historical significance.
The house, which currently sits in Washington Park, is a 20th-century reconstruction of a home originally built in 1699 that was, in the mayor’s words, “literally one of the most important sites of the entire American Revolution.”
