Description
In 1896, José Altagracia Herrera and his wife, Johanna Rijnita Vos from Bonaire, sold two small houses to Nicolina Paulina Job. Born in 1863 as the daughter of Eusebius Martis Everts Rojer, she was a seamstress by profession. Nicolina subsequently erected the two-story townhouse on the corner of the plot, known as Zaantjessteeg 2-4. Whether she also constructed the current building at Zaantjessteeg 6 is unknown. The earliest recorded owner of the property is the free mulatto woman Dorothea Geerman, who sold it in 1810 to Matthias Levy.
