Police Commissioners' Rent Roll: Volume 1 - Even Quarter Index Index to the proprietors and possessors of the Even Quarter. For collection purposes the Rent Roll was divided into the four traditional districts, commonly called the Crooked, Even, Green and Footdee Quarters. One of the earliest descriptions of the area comprising the Even Quarter dates from 1889; "The Even Quarter commences at the east end of Park Street and runs along the west side of that street, the north side of Justice Street and Castle Street, the east side of Broad Street, Gallowgate, and Mounthooly, including all the intermediate streets." [J A Ross Municipal Affairs in Aberdeen, 1889, page 115]. The names of both the proprietors and the occupants of the properties are listed, along with details of their occupation, place of origin (when not resident principally in Aberdeen), and very often whether the property concerned is rented for residential or business purposes. In the original, the annual rental value of the premises is noted followed by the assessment made. However only the rental value has been included in this list. 1795
