The pace is anything but even. The record runs hot early and quiets with age, with 2019 its single busiest year.

Read together — 20% release, 8 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$400K of Kings, written across 45 government filings.
