Volume 1, First Ward, 1852
Scope and Contents
Oversized volumes, one for each of the seven wards (the book for the sixth ward is missing, however). At the front of each volume is an index map of the ward with a key referring the user to the proper sheet for each square of land within the ward (the volume for ward one also have a two-page map of the entire municipality). Each sheet contains a plat of an individual square, showing lot subdivisions, with measurements and names of property owners indicated. In addition to the names of property owners, in many cases a date of last act of sale for the lot, sometimes with the sale price, is also recorded.
