Full Stokes Entry (See images below)
The levelled space between the lots of Michiel Tadens and Claes Bordingh had had a house upon it in April, 1659. — Recitals in Mortgages, 1654-1660, trans, by O'Callaghan, 127. Sieur Cornells Schut, the wealthy Amsterdam merchant, who represented the estate of Johannes van Beeck, deceased, which owned the house, did, indeed, live there during his short stay in America. — Rec. N. Am., I: 317; II: i, 5. He had returned to Holland by July, 1656. — Ibid., II: 128, 183, 213.

The house, an old one built by Jan Snediger, soon after he obtained his ground-brief of 1645, had probably fallen into complete decay. The Plan shows that it was demolished before July, 1660.
