Lot: H1 (Taxlots)

In 1656, Isaac Grevenraedt (Greveraet) bought Lambert van Valckenbergh's house on the corner of the road and the Strand. When he sold it to Pieter Jansen Slott, of "Mingagquy in New Yarsie," March 23, 1670, there was "an old Tennement" on the land. — Liber Deeds, B: 170; cf. Book of Records of Deeds y Transfers (etc.), 1665-1672 (translated), 175-6. When the property was confiscated by Colve, Slot asked for "a lot behind the City Hall." — N. Y. Col. Docs., II: 631. (For Greveraet, see Block C, No. 12.) There is a full and interesting account of Slot in Riker's Hist, of Harlem, 241.
