what is Weeksville, briefly?
Deb-
It's an early African American seelrment in Bedford-Stuvesant in Brooklyn.
The four remaining 19th C houses adjoin the path of a Dutch road (Hunterfly
Road) They have a web site I believe - check it out. Interesting place.
We had a restoration program there in the mid 1980's during which we trained
several local at-risk youts in restoration crafts while restorain the houses.
Bruce's firm is about to do some major work there which includes redo of much
work from the 80's which was not maintained, and construction of a new
visitor's center.
