The list of land owners & title transfers date back to 1853 and the list ends in 1948. The list contains the following data: sq ft area, grantor, grantee, title, date, county record info, real estate department, and remarks.3) There is a 2-page letter from 1913 that is stapled to this document. The letter is from a real estate agent and it's addressed to a land owner who is questioning the rights of the Pennsylvania Railroad's rights to land under the under the Walnut Street Bridge. See photos to read each page.This document has a linen base (see photo of corner). There is one fold that you can see in the photos. There is standard wear for a document that is 120 years old, especially around the edges. But the linen base helps keep this document in tact.
