Title:
Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, Durham, North Carolina, 1888 (Google Earth Overlay) Beta
Creator(s):
Sanborn (Firm), Publisher
Date:
1888
Description:
Using the Google Earth web application, we have created semi-transparent images from the original set of Fire Insurance Map of 1888 and placed these over satellite imagery of present-day Durham. Because of a paucity of information of some buildings presented on pages 6 and 7, we provide an approximate location for the Bobbin and Shuttle Mill, the Durham Cotton Manufacturing Company, and J.W. Allen's Tobacco Prize House.
