Is this the same or different site as the Pieter Claesen Wyckoff#Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum? I am not sure, but the relationship needs to be sorted out and described in both articles. See also another Wyckoff house or two. doncram ( talk) 06:13, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

The needlepoint currently referenced in the article and which had hung in the house at least until its 2021 sale, is a modern creation and cannot be used to support the inaccurate and contradictory dating of the house to 1776.
The 1766 date of construction is a guess that appears in a 1960's paper by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. The date is based on an inscription in a beam utilized in the remaining barn, which was re-built in 1899 after the city required the house to be moved (within the property) and rotated, in order to align with the street grid.
There is a good amount of important history missing from the article. When the house was repositioned an additional barn was demolished and not rebuilt, and former slave quarters were razed.
