The land under what became 176 Sullivan Street goes to Pieter Santomee, a freed man, in 1644
Long before the Low family built here, the Dutch conveyed the parcel that now holds the Sullivan Street houses, including No. 176, to Pieter Santomee. He had worked for the Dutch West India Company before being freed. The land later passed through the Bayard family and then to Nicholas Low, who bought it in 1796.
“The parcel containing the Macdougal-Sullivan block was conveyed on December 15, 1644 to Pieter Santomee, a free negro.”
