1912 (ca.) Real Property Valuations and Dog Census

Entry/Object ID

2021.2.47

Scope and Content

Sixty-six-page PDF of a ledger of real property valuations for the Town of Sand Lake. The ledger records valuations in alphabetical order by the name of the property owner and is missing its cover and first page or two. Thus, it lacks dates and some valuations beginning with the letter, "A." However, since the ledger lists valuations for Swansdown Knitting Company, it must relate to valuations made sometime between Swansdown's inception in 1904 and Swansdown being renamed to the Thermo Knitting Mill in 1920. Thus, this entry notes 1912 as an estimated date. The ledger also lists valuations for the Averill Park Land Company and Wynantskill Hydro Electric Company, which further dates it to the early 20th century. The PDF is downloadable while fully logged into the system. Refer to the example page for a preview of its content. The last few pages of the ledger also note residents with dogs for some reason. A much higher resolution PDF is stored off-line and available upon request under the file name: 1912_(ca.)_Real_Property_Valuations_Hi_Res.pdf The original ledger is stored in a locked fireproof safe at Town Hall.
