H69.38.1668

The two subdivisions featured on this map are Fountain Place (an area bounded by Telegraph Ave. on the west, Franklin St. on the east, Delger St. ((17th St.)) on the north and Birney St. ((15th St.)) on the south) and Wilcox Place (an area bounded by Telegraph Ave. on the west, Walnut St. ((18th St.)) on the north, Franklin St. on the east, and Delger St. ((17th St.)) on the south. Jas. T. Stratton is shown to be the surveyor; the real estate agents are Carl & Co. and George Tait & Co. The asking price for the 39 lots comprising Wilcox Place was $900 each in gold coin. The residences of Geo. C. Potter, A. Campbell, F. Delger, J.J. Gardiner, and Captain Wilcox are identified on the map. An index map is also included, which shows the tract as darkly shaded. The "Tract List" compiled by Quentin includes the Fountain Place tract and dates it at 1868; the "List" does not list Wilcox Place at all, nor does it list Fountain and Wilcox Places as a joint tract.
