This land is situated in the Taylor's Daughters Historic District of Bellevue. The Bellevue Town Lot Improvement Company appears in only one city directory (1890-1891). H.M. Healy, a lawyer in Newport, is listed as the President and C.W. Nagel, a real estate agent with an office in his home at 232 Fairfield Avenue in Bellevue, is listed as Secretary. I am trying to trace the ownership of this property prior to its sale to John Hils. How and from whom did the Bellevue Town Lot Improvemnt Company obtain the land? How did this previous owner gain title to the land?
