Lot: G9 (Taxlots)

This house, which stood on the exact site of No. 21 Pearl Street, was built between July, 1645, and July, 1647, by Gillis Pietersen van der Gouw, master carpenter. — Cal. Hist. MSS., Dutch, 38. At the period of the Plan, it was owned by Isaac Grevenraet. His sons, Andries and Henry, sold the property, in May, 1687, to Mme. Aeltje Schepmoes,['] widow of Jan Evertsen Keteltas. — Liber Deeds, XIII: 301. By that time, a much better house probably had replaced this one, for the widow paid 7,700 guilders for the property. In July, following, she married Johannes van Giesen, of Utrecht. — Marriages in Ref. Dutch Ch., 62; ante-nuptial contract, Liber Deeds, XXV: 46.
