Apparently the house that stands on 27 Gravesend Neck Road opposite Gravesend Cemetery is Lady Deborah Moody's. I find it hard to believe that the house could survive hundreds of years when the neighborhood has changed so much and the house itself has passed through so many hands. I found this New York Times article from 2003 reporting on the current owners trying to give the home historical landmark status. I tried finding something more current but I guess the petition never made it.
