Designed by Brooklyn architect Frank Freeman and completed in 1914, it was designated a New York City landmark in 2011.
Designed by prominent Brooklyn architect Frank Freeman and completed in 1906, the building is known today as The Bosworth Building of Saint Ann's School.
Freeman once headed the Clubhouse Committee of the Crescent Athletic Club (whose headquarters he designed in 1906), and he was a parishioner of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Brooklyn Heights.
Chapter VII of Freeman - entitled The Death of Dinah - is strongly echoed in a later anti-Tom novel: Uncle Robin, in His Cabin in Virginia, and Tom Without One in Boston by J.W. Page (1853), in which another character also named Dinah passes away as a redeemed Christian, as does the character of Dinah in Hall's novel.

It is interesting to note that Liberia shares some parallels to the 1852 anti-Tom novel Frank Freeman's Barber Shop by Baynard Rush Hall, which also featured a slave being sent to Liberia by the American Colonization Society after leading a miserable life in the Northern United States.
The novel, unlike previous examples of plantation literature, acted as a criticism of Abolitionism in the United States, and how easily anti-slavery organisations such as the Underground Railroad could be manipulated by pro-slavery superiors - a concept previously discussed in an earlier anti-Tom novel, Frank Freeman's Barber Shop by Rev. Baynard Rush Hall (1852).
