About This Item

[Houston]: Magnolia Park Land Co, 1924. Very good.. Oblong folio. 25,[1]pp. Original tan printed wrappers, brown paper backstrip. Three soft vertical creases throughout, light soiling to wrappers. Minor edge wear to last leaf of text. A highly detailed title abstract to a land development project near Buffalo Bayou in Houston, Texas in 1923, with a single-page supplement to the abstract tipped-in at the rear. The abstract was prepared by the Texas Abstract Company for the Magnolia Park Land Company, the owners and developers of the subdivision. The text collects the ownership history of the land involved in the Engel Addition and its extension going back to the original land grant to Samuel Williams in 1828, printed in four columns of small type throughout. According to the opening text, the Engel Addition was "a replat of that portion of the J.T. Mason Subdivision that was conveyed to the 'Magnolia Park Land Company' by J.T. Mason." The text is supplemented by two sectional plat maps on the first page. The first illustration is a "Sketch showing the probable location of various tracts of land in lots 64 and 65 of the S.M. Williams Survey." The second illustration is titled, "Plat and survey of the Western part of the Sam. M. Williams tract on Buffalo Bayou." The Engel development remains today, south of Buffalo Bayou in Houston's Second Ward near Magnolia Park. No copies in OCLC.
