Lambert Huybertsen Mol, a ship carpenter, built this house, on the site of the Sampson Building, 63 Wall Street. He was sometimes known as Lambert Huybertsen Klomp {Cal. Hist. MSS., Dutch, 47); he was in the colony as early as 1641 {Liber GG: 42, Albany) and as late as 1674 (N. Y. Hist. Soc. Collections, 1841, pp. 387-8); and was apparently still living in 1696, when he is mentioned as owning land at Hurley. — Ibid., 1892, p. 464.

Always a useful and respected citizen, Mol built gun-carriages for the Fort, and had a ship-yard in the Smith's Valley. He was, unfortunately, a heavy drinker, and this habit got him into many scrapes, which are quaintly set forth in the Records of New Amsterdam (III: 209, 212; IV: 137, 205, 208).
