Considerable Historic Romance Con- nected with Famous Hunt Man- sion — Society Headquarters in Revolutionary Times, New York - Geographically the cen- ter of Greater New York, the settle- ment of Hunt's Point, breathes the spirit of primeval days Bounded by the Hat houses of upper Manhattan on the west, with the pop- ulous Bronx northward and the roll- ing meadowd of Westchester on the east, this quaint settlement seems al- most as Isolated from civilization as Labrador Two hundred ago the Hunt Thomas Hunt, tockers. The famous old structure, over the crumbling roofs and sagging veranda of which several giant oak tqps cluster, stands to-day on a strip of land overlooking Long Island sound. There Is much of historic romance associated with this house During the struggle for independence it was tombarded by the English fleet from the sound on its way to attack the city One of the cannon balls was embedded in the brick wall, where it still lodges . Traditions are numerous regarding the building of the old mansion It i# sald that when Hunt first began to build lumber commanded a very high price, due to a heavy tax which was levied on building material, so that Hunt decided to build his house of stone, of which there was an abun- dance in the neighborhood. But hagd- ly had he put up the west wall when the tax was removed, so he completed the structure with lumber. [Its preser- vation proves the durability of its con- struction, for it has defiled the ele- ments since the seventeenth century, and promises to outlive many of its modern neighbors The girders and rafters used in its construction were hewn from solid oak while the laths used in the interior walls, rough and irregular, were made cf strips of ash. The chimneys were tuilt of the bricks brought over as tallast by the Dutch traders; the ceil- and thirty-six years mansion was bullt by THE HUNT MANSION Structure Marks Center tircater New York) (Historic of ings are low, and the closets, with which each room is supplied, open in two parts The great open fireplace in the living room, without which no old mansion was perfect, is crumbling away with age and is no longer used Across the hallway is the kitchen, The Dutch oven has been replaced by a modern stove by the present occupant The upper chambers are reached by a barrow but substantial stairway The tower which gives the mansion such a fort-like appearance, Is reached Ly a spiral stairway from the living room so narrow that it admits only one person at a time.

In later years it became the residence of Joseph Rod- man Drake, the poet who has charmed thousands with his “Culprit Fay." It was also here that he composed the well-known lines on the Bronx On a small knoll on the road lead- ing to the mansion is an anclent bury- ing ground where the early settlers were interred. It also holds the re- malns of Drake. Directly across the road is a small Inclosure in which the slaves of the Hunt familly were bur- ied. This ground ls often disturbed and remains removed by students in rearch of material The Indian cave, surrounded by a group of tall elms, is still In existence It was once the favorite haunt of the Indians, and here the (reatles were made with the whites Baretto Point, which is located just west of the old mansion, was once the headquarters of Gen Washington.
