ROW #665 · ONE FAMILY, FIVE PLAT EVENTS
The Zimmer ground is a plat family, and it prints as a family because the descriptions keep re-platting it: Zimmer's 1st — the family's first addition, 15 parcels under its own name in the second count, lot numbers running past 80 in the samples (lots 79/80, 85, 87 in the descriptions), its ground carrying Franklin Street as a documented street equation (the banked leg: Franklin in the Zimmer descriptions). Zimmer's 2nd — the second addition, its descriptions carrying the vacated-alley and Franklin Street frontage language whole (“& 7′ vac alley W & adj & 15′ vac ft N side Franklin St”), a plat whose lots were already being re-cut in its own descriptions. Then the successor replats, each a plat in its own right: Chen's Replat of Zimmer's 1st; Huffman's Replat; Boling's Replat of Zimmer's 2nd; and the Dale Zimmer Replats (1st and 2nd) — the family name passing, in the Dale Zimmer replats, from eponym to living subdivider in the descriptions themselves. Character: the town's clearest case of a neighbourhood as a process, not an event — one family's ground, platted, replatted and re-cut across the description record, about 22 parcels in the family total. Present state: every layer still alive as description text in 2026. Founding dates and the chain of title between the Zimmers, Chen, Huffman and Boling: Recorder's plat books, the Zimmer sheets and each replat sheet — named, not inferred.
