Building lots for sale in the new federal capital...
Item # 700702
August 02, 1791
DUNLAPS AMERICAN DAILY ADVERTISER, Philadelphia, Aug. 2, 1791
* Washington D.C. land lots for sale
* Early United States government era
The front page has a nice ad concerning the sale of a number of lots in the "Federal City." It mentions that the President of the United States approved the: "...Sites for the Public Buildings pursuant to the Act passed by Congress ...for establishing the temporary and permanent Seat of Government...". Includes details about the sale of the lots described as being "...in the best Situations in the Federal City."
This might be the earliest notice (?) for building lots in the future capital, especially since it appeared in a newspaper from what was then the temporary seat of government of the United States.
The back page has an item from the "War Department" concerning invalids from military service, signed in type by: H. Knox, Secretary of War.
Four pages, some minor blank margin loss at the bottom, other margins tears, a few archival mends inside.
