Shops Antique 1908 Harrison Lenox, Boston Massachusetts Map from G.W. Bromley Atlas – Lower Roxbury, Frederick Douglass Historic District, MA
Beautiful, antique map of the South End, Lower Roxbury, Harrison Lenox & Frederick Douglass Square Historic District Neighborhoods of Boston, Massachusetts. This is an authentic map (Plate #30) taken from G.W. Bromley's "Atlas of the City of Boston, Boston Proper and Back Bay" published in 1908 and is NOT a computer reproduction.
See what Boston looked like more than 110 years ago, before West Chester Street became Mass Avenue. Lots of charming, intricate details and contours, including main streets, rivers, gardens, squares, houses and the names of property owners at the time. Hand colored. Verso is blank.
Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
