[edit] Notes
The Dairy Farmhouse once stood near the crest of Sullivan Hill, in Prospect Park, Brooklyn New York. Park visitors could obtain fresh milk and sandwiches from the Dairy Farmhouse in the early decades of the park. There were few trees in this part of the park when it first opened, it gradually became more forested, as seen in an 1898 view of the Farmhouse, available at the Prospect Park Alliance website. As time went on, the Dairy Farmhouse fell into periods of disuse. The Menagerie grew to the north and east of the Farmhouse, and when this facility was replaced by the Prospect Park Zoo in 1935, the Farmhouse was demolished with the rest of the Menagerie. The Dairy Farmhouse was derived from the earlier (and still existing) Dairy in Central Park, sharing similar blue stone with limestone trim.
