Kingsland Homestead

Kingsland Homestead is an 18th-century house located in Flushing, Queens, New York City.

The homestead is also close to the 17th-century Bowne House, the location of the first Quaker meeting place in New Amsterdam.

[3] Due to encroaching development from the proposed extension of the New York City Subway's Flushing Line in 1923, it was moved to the site of a stable, also built by King.

The house was threatened again in 1965, by the construction of the Murray Hill Shopping Center, but the community was able to save the house and in that same year it was one of the first buildings in the city to be declared a landmark by the Landmarks Preservation Commission.

[7] The Homestead has been interpreted to the Victorian era,[8] although it has included a wide range of exhibits since its dedication as a museum.
