Scale of Premiums and Discounts Assessed upon Lots to Be Distributed to the Shareholders of the San Francisco Homestead Union... [caption title]

San Francisco, 1862. Good.. Broadside, about 14 x 8.5 inches. Previously folded, with separation along horizontal fold line from right edge. Minor edge wear, plus short closed tear at center of left edge. Moderate staining and soiling. An unrecorded broadside concerning values on parcels of land in what is now San Francisco's Mission District that were set to be auctioned to shareholders in the San Francisco Homestead in April 1862. The broadside contains a table that displays lot numbers and the assessed values of those lots, as well as the "premium" or "discount" relative to the average assessed values of all lots, which was $141. At right are specific rules for shareholders bidding on lots at the distribution, and several notes on adjustments to the surveyed lot sizes and dimensions. Many of the lots in this section are on Mission Street, Valencia Street, Old San Jose Road, or somewhere in between. Not present but referenced in the text of this broadside is a map that would have shown the lots and their corresponding numbers. A very interesting document of land sales on the south side of San Francisco during the midst of the Civil War. Not in OCLC.
