I live less than two blocks from the Dyckman Farmhouse that you mention. Apparently, it was moved to Broadway and 204th Street sometime after it erected. Dyckmans were pretty numerous in the early days of Inwood (Tubby Hook in the those days.) The mansion at Boscobel in Garrison was the residence of a prominent Dyckman relation, States Morrison Dyckman, and his wife Elizabeth.<br /><br />One minor correction to your mention of Lou Little. He did not play football at Columbia, but he was a longtime coach of the football team there during the years that they were a major collegiate powerhouse. Jack Kerouac played under him on scholarship until a broken leg sent him in a direction<br />far afield from football. Little makes an appearance as Lou Libble in Kerouac's early autobiographical novel "Maggie Cassidy".<br /><br />More: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Little<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-35387407952725272462022-08-15T16:33:36.192-07:002022-08-15T16:33:36.192-07:00There was another home on the property that the ol...There was another home on the property that the old wooden stadium at Baker Field was built around that survived until the stadium was torn down .
