The long-awaited restoration of Flushing’s historic Bowne House could be completed by 2012 after the city acquired the property last week, making it the 23rd home of its kind to join the city’s Historic House Trust. Described as “the best-preserved example of Anglo-Dutch vernacular residential architecture in the country,” the house still sits on its original site, and will undergo a $2.3 million restoration.
