Who owns what


BEGINNING at a point on the Easterly side of Sheridan Ave., at the dividing line between Lots Nos. 1 & 2 in said Plan, said point being distant 62.31 feet Northeastwardly from the Northeast corner of Hampton Street (fomerly Stewart Street) and Sheridan Avenue; thence in an Easterly direction aling the dividing line between Lots Nos. 1 and 2, a distance of 98.66 feet to apoint in line of Lot No. 20; thence Northwardly along the rear line of Lot No. 20 and Lot. No. 19, a distance of 35.07 feet to the dividing line between Lots No. 2 and 3 in said Plan; thence westwardly by the dividing line between said Lots Nos. 2 and 3, 100.91 feet to Sheridan Ave.; thence Southwardly along the Easterly line of Sheridan Avenue a distance of 35 feet to a point at the beginning.

So reads the deed to all the land on the earth that I own...or at least that some financial institution allows me to believe I own.  There is a web of mortgage and control on my real estate that to say I own it is really only a modern nicety.  Some day I hope to be able to be out of debt and the sole master of:

All that certain lot or piece of ground situate in the 11th Ward of the City of Pittsburgh, County of Allegheny and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, being Lot 2 in the Highland Heights Plan of Lots laid out by L.A. Smith and recorded in the Recorder's Office of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania in Plan Book Volume 23, Page 116.
