SummaryThree men (two sitting, one standing) behind table with drawer; large document is nearly covering table top; man on right is holding document in place with left hand and is pointing to location on map with right hand. Caption: "Map study--Clarence Nenning, head of the map division of the Kings County Clerk's office; Capt. Aubrey L. Wyckoff, secretary of the Wyckoff Association of America, and Brooklyn Historian James A. Kelly study an ancient Flatlands map [on table with drawer] in connection with plans now under consideration for preserving historic Wyckoff House. Located on the old Canarsie Road at the convergence of Ditmas Ave. and E. 59th St., the old Dutch farmhouse was built about 1637-38 and is probably the oldest dwelling in the country."
