Lonely Planet review for King Manor

In Jamaica, the Jamaica Center–Parsons/Archer subway stop (the last along the E, J and Z lines) is a short block south of the main strip, Jamaica Ave. Near the station, amid the 11-acre King Park, is the redone, Greco-Roman-style King Manor, home to US Constitution signatory Rufus King in the early 1800s. King, an early abolitionist, made a failed run for president in 1817 (the last Federalist to run). King is buried a block east in the cemetery outside Grace Episcopal Church (155-03 Jamaica Ave).
