Original Location
The Guyon-Lake-Tysen House originally sat on a plot of 115 acres of land. The original location was 750 feet south of Hylan Boulevard, 100 feet West of Tysens Lane, in Oakwood, Staten Island. This area is signigicant as it was a large, fertile farm plot which spread from the shore line to road which allowed for two point of transport and trade.
Prior to the Guyon-Lake-Tysen House at this location, the land was originally patented to Hanse Laurense circa 1677. By 1723, the land was owned by James Hanse Dye. Any structure had been destroyed, but there was evidence found of its existence nearby the kitchen area.
