Description and history edit
The Hubbard House was constructed by Lawrence Ryder, a Gravesend carpenter-builder, for Nelly Hubbard, the daughter of a farmer of Dutch descent who married a descendant of one of the first English settlers in Gravesend.[4] Beginning in 1850, it was leased to workers and artisans. In 1904, garment worker Vincenzo Lucchelli purchased the house with his wife and five children. In 1924, Salvati & Le Quornik designed a southern two-story hippedroofed wing which incorporated a “sleeping porch” for family members suffering from tuberculosis. Theresa Lucchelli (1902–1997) inherited the house and resided in it from the age of two until her death.[2][3]
It is a small, white Dutch Colonial–style farmhouse which uses H-bent construction. It consists of two sections: a 1+1⁄2-story, one-room-deep main section with a 2-story, one-room-wide by two-room-deep wing. It is covered with pine clapboard.[2][3]
