"The New York Farm Colony was established in 1902, when the Richmond County Poor Farm was reorganized on Brielle Avenue, across the street from Seaview Hospital. Its present gambrel-roofed Dutch Colonial brick and fieldstone buildings, some of which were designed by Renwick, Aspinwall and Owen, were built between 1904 and 1916."
