DescriptionPlat map of lots at intersection of Webster Street and New Britain Avenue. Webster Street is at the left and New Britain Avenue at the bottom of the map. Ellsworth Street runs parllel to Webster Street. Lots are numbered 1 to 27 and dimensions are inscribed along the sides of the lots. The sizes of the lots vary greatly. The name "John M. Read" is written in pencil at the right, and a rough rectangle, possibly a crude sketch plan for a building, is drawn in pencil on the adjoining lot.
Object number2005.198.0
NotesCartographic Note: No scale
Date Note: Jacob Weidenmann, who surveyed the lots shown in the map, came to the United States in 1856. The plot of land depicted is probably the same one that was offered for sale as a unit in April 1860. E.B. and E.C. Kellogg, who printed this map, were in busniss until 1866. It seems likely that map dates from between 1860 and 1867.On View
