the size and shape and construction materials, heights, and function of structures, location of windows and doors. The maps
also give street names, street and sidewalk widths, property boundaries, building use, and house and block numbers. Textual
information includes construction details, ownership and building use. Includes most of the fire insurance maps that were
produced by the Sanborn Map Company from the mid-1880s to around 1950. The black and white digital images were produced from
a microform of the Sanborn atlases in the Library of Congress collection. The microform is available at Avery Libray at F
