1. Jacob Husley Marker
Jacob Otten Husley (1738-1796)
Hij was een Nederlandse architect en stucwerker. Al op jonge leeftijd verhuisde hij naar Amsterdam om daar onder leiding van zijn beide ooms, de befaamde stucdecorateurs Hans Jacob en Hendrik Huslij het stucwerk te leren. Hoewel geboren als Hans Jacob Otten voegde hij vanaf ± 1760 Husley, als variant van Huslij, aan zijn naam toe om deze familieband te onderstrepen. Zijn bekendste ontwerp is Felix Meritis (1787-1789) waarvoor in 1786 een prijsvraag werd uitgeschreven die hij won.
Jacob Husley was a Dutch architect and stucco worker. At a young age he moved to Amsterdam to learn stucco under the guidance of his two uncles, the famous stucco decorators Hans Jacob and Hendrik Huslij. Although born as Hans Jacob Otten, he added 'Husley', as a variant of Huslij, to his name from ± 1760 to underline this family connection. His most famous design is Felix Meritis (1787-1789) for which a competition was held in 1786, which he won.
