Offered here is an original 1787 indenture deed from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, measuring approximately 14.5 x 17 inches, written on laid paper and executed in elegant late-18th-century script. The document remains faded but carefully legible throughout, with strong visual character and authentic age wear.
This indenture records a land transaction involving WILLIAM GILMOUR, identified as a house carpenter of Philadelphia, and WILLIAM CROUCH of Northern Liberties, then a distinct district just north of the city proper. The property is described as being located on the south side of Callowhill Street, a historically significant east-west thoroughfare in early Philadelphia development.
The deed is dated 1787, just four years after the end of the American Revolutionary War and in the same year the U.S. Constitution was drafted. It includes customary legal language of the period, references to boundaries and adjoining lots, and is signed and sealed, with visible wax seal remnants and docketing on the reverse. A later endorsement on the back identifies the instrument as a deed and notes a consideration of £50.
