"The Little Street"
Bet. the grants of Van Elslandt and Evert Jansen
there was "a little street." Originally it was a rod
(i2 ft., 6 ins.) wide and ran diagonally through the block.
When the grants were cut up into lots, which were laid
out nearly at right angles to the Beaver's Graft (Beaver
street), there was left by usage, a street wider than it
had at first been, and now running at right angles to the
Graft. This street was sold under the following deed:
