Lot: D4 (Taxlots)

The house and outbuilding erected on the piece of ground gained from the old Marckvelt by the survey of 1657, and granted to Frederick Philipse, carpenter, by director and council, January 29, 1658. — Cal. Hist. MSS., Dutch, 190. The patent issued February 9, 1658. — Liber HH (2): 94 (Albany). The lot was about 27 feet wide at the Brouwers Straet, narrowing to 12 feet, 6 inches, in the rear, with an average depth of 85 feet. The Plan shows that the rear building, which may have been used for a shop, was narrow; the house, squarely and compactly built, had its main entrance on the Marckvelt. It was completed by February 10, 1659 {Mortgages, 1654-1660, trans, by O'Callaghan, 123-4), but stood less than twenty years. Philipse acquired Varrevanger's property to the east (Liber Deeds, B: 109, no, 157; cf. Book of Records of Deeds y Transfers, etc., 1665-1672, translated, 15 1-2), and built another residence on this corner, before 1677, in which year he was assessed for his "new house," the "old house of Van cliff," and the house "next Jacob Dekeys." — M.C.C.,1: S3-

The property remained in the Philipse family until the Revolution. It was sold under the Act of Attainder (Chap. XXV, Laws of 1779) to Isaac Hubble, June 14, 1785. — Liber Deeds, XLIV: i4S.[i]
