Another storekeeper in Amsterdam

Family legend had it that great-grandfather Marinus J. Broekman (dutch link) had a fabric store. However, in the database of the Dutch Economic-Historical Archives I found the following in the catalog of the Special Collections, Documentation and pictures of trades

Because we were recently in the Netherlands, we visited the International Institute for Social History in Amsterdam, where the archives are located. We had some problem locating the entry (as I did not have my computer with me), but the extremely helpful librarian found it eventually.

The file was a single picture of the store at 27 Paleisstraat in Amsterdam. The text in between the windows is clearer in the negative; it says:

The Paleisstraat runs from the Dam (where the Palace is located) to the Singel, and was named in 1875. It is comprised of three pieces: from the Dam to the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, from there to the Spuistraat, and then to the Singel. Previously these pieces were named Gasthuisstraat, Stilsteeg, and Korte Gasthuismolensteeg.

Remember the Gasthuismolensteeg from the bakery of Gerrit Lucas Broekman. This was located near the corner with the Singel. I was wondering whether this could be the same house, but after some digging online in the Amsterdam Municipal Archives I do not think so. 27 Paleisstraat seems to have been located near or at the corner of the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, so is somewhat closer to the Dam.

Maybe in October I can get to the Amsterdam Archives themselves, and do some more digging as to the exact locations.
