restoman; I just copied the entire 1892 JW Vose fire insurance atlas from the SU library today! I have the whole thing, and you're welcome a copy if you have 8GB of space to store it somewhere. Bird Library has maps from several other years scanned from Hopkins atlases too, all on DVD. I'm going to get all of them, as time allows.
Here's one sheet cropped down to our little neck of the woods. The canal was so close! I can almost imagine it! And those mansions you told me about lining James Street; those were really something, weren't they? I can tell, even with these simple plan views. The paths sprawling over the grounds, the carriagehouses in the back, the one with a greenhouse on the property....
I need to email you. I see a Chinese buffet trip in our future, if you're free on Sunday for dinner.
