{"value"=>"<p>The <span class=\"emph\">Legal</span>sub-series includes deeds and mortgages for church property dating from 1841 covering the church on Melon Street, parish houses, and rental properties on North Street. The deeds reflect not only the outright purchase of properties, but also the transfer of ground rents, perpetual leases sold separately and amounting to a double ownership characteristic of feudal property. Also significant are title searches documenting the ownership and debt of properties and correspondence for renovation projects.</p>"}
