227 Duffield Street – Brooklyn
The owner of 227 Duffield Street is an widowed grandmother.
The city of NY is trying to use eminent domain to take her home and turn it into a parking lot for two new hotels on the block.
227 Duffield Street has been found to have been an Abolitionist Home. The City of NY needs to rethink their plans for this building.
So how can you help?

Dear Jack Hammer,
I do not believe that the Duffield Abolitionist homes should be destroyed. Further research is needed to discover the historical significance of these homes as they may have had a role in the Underground Railroad slave safehouse movement.
Hugs,
marlene
