Anons, found some interesting history in an American history book printed 1897 that ties into early Q posts about the “yellow brick road.”

Reading about Block’s discoveries/New Netherland (now NY current Wall Street location) 1614, author mentions former palace of Counts, now archives of Holland, road/quadrangle being paved with yellow bricks. These happenings directly tied to Council of 300 and East/West India trading companies.

Book is Our Country, Vol. I by Lossing, Darley.
