Hendrick Remsen buys the eastern half of the lot from the Van Horne family
The Van Horne family owned the eastern half of this lot until 1747, when it was sold to Hendrick Remsen. His great-grandson Edward Remsen joined Obadiah Holmes in 1828 to construct the present building, one of a group of three on Water Street. The western half shared its earlier ownership history with No. 26.
“…the eastern half was owned by members of the Van Horne family until 1747 when it was sold to Hendrick Remsen.”
