Trivia: What is the oldest surviving structure in NYC?
A farmhouse
A church
A grocery market
A train station
The correct answer is A farmhouse
So why is this answer correct? : Brooklyn is home to NYC’s oldest surviving structure: the Wyckoff Farmhouse, which is now a museum open to the public. This farmhouse, built in 1652, resembles many early Dutch-American farms that capitalized on fertile soil across Brooklyn and Queens. Generations of Wyckoffs farmed the land until 1901; the museum still grows crops here today.
