This cadastral (real estate survey) map describes three parcels of New York City property divided into lots. No. 1 is bordered at left by Harman Street leading into Grand Street with Seammel Street below and Henry Street at right. No. 2: is bordered by Suffolk Street above and Grand Street at right. No. 3: is bordered by Rivington Street at left and Eldridge Street below. The related auction house was run by William Ferris Pell (1779-1840) who transformed his father's shipping company into one that sold and financed property. He is remembered for purchasing land upstate on Lake Champlain containing the ruins of Fort Ticonderoga, which his descendants restored and opened as an historic site in 1909.
