The small graveyard contains not only the graves of family members, but also that of Irish revolutionary and physician William James MacNeven who died in 1841 and who had stayed with the Riker family.

It remains an intact house in the Dutch Colonial style.

Current owner Marion Duckworth Smith and her late husband Michael Smith began restoration work in 1980,[4] and the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

[2][5] The house is the oldest known existing residential structure in Queens.
