Jochim Pietersen Kuyter had the grant of this lot at the north-west corner of Pearl and Whitehall Streets. He sold it, unimproved, to Pieter Wolphertsen van Couwenhoven, March 4, 1652. The latter built the house, and resided here until 1667, at least. — Liber Mortgages, A: 2, 28, 40; Rec. N. Am., V: 223.
For Pieter Wolphertsen van Couwenhoven, see Block B, No. 9.
Francis Boon had bought the house by January, 1669. Hendrick. Obe then occupied it. Boon tried to eject him. Obe's attorney, John Sharp, said: "in case the pltf., [Boon] had not sinisterly bought the house, he would never have got itt." — Rec. N. Am., VI: 163.
When Cornelis van Borsum had acquired it, April 30, 1672, he asked, on behalf of himself and his neighbours, for "a Small Slip off ground on the backe side of his house over against the fforte ... to Make the fFences behinde even." This was granted by Governor Lovelace, and the block, which, as the Plan shows, sloped abruptly, was "made even."— iJ^c. N. Am., VI: 368.
