'The original scope of work written for this project asked that the chain of ownership be reconstructed for the properties on the north side of the 500 block of Market Street, and that owner's names be checked to identify any occupants with particular historical significance. In addition, the project was charged to locate any available images of the north side of the block that pre-dated the photographic record that begins circa 1850. Any materials pertinent to nearby area sunder the control of Independence National Historical Park were to be noted for future research, but the research for this project was to concentrate on the north side of the 500 block. The scope of work was later expanded to include the south side of the 500 block of Market Street as well. Additional funds were appropriated, and an assistant secured for one month to provide some of the extra labor needed for the increased scope of work. No additional time could be alloted to the work, and so some detail and thoroughness had to be foregone in order to get a usable amount of information on both sides of the block.'
