Abraham Manee House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Abraham Manee House, also known as the Manee-Seguine Homestead, is is a three-part Colonial Dutch dwelling, designated a New York City landmark in 1984. Located on the South Shore of Staten Island, and adjacent to Lemon Creek, the oldest section is a one-room structure built by Paulus Regrenier in 1690. An addition made of rubble-stone was added by Abraham Manee in the late 18th century. The Seguine family purchased the homestead in the 1780s and built an addition in the early part of the 19th century.
One of the oldest structures in New York City, it is abandoned and in disrepair, and is in danger of being demolished.
