Restoring the Bennett House in Bay Ridge

There’s an interesting piece in the Landmark Conservancy Autumn 2004 newsletter about the renovation of a Greek Revival house in Bay Ridge. Originally built for Joseph Bennett in 1847 on Shore Road overlooking the Verazzano Narrows, the house was moved in 1913 to 95th Street, making one of the few buildings to pre-date that neighborhood’s development in the 1930’s. Most recently, the house was purchased from an estate by Maryanne and Pasquale Dellituri in 1997. It was designated an individual landmark in 1999, and the extensive restoration began in 2000. Check out the newsletter for more details on the renovation scope and process.
