The maps show the buildings on marked lots, in marked blocks, along with the surrounding streets. The buildings are marked with codes; are color coded as to their use and construction; and show their size, shape, and location in the lot and block.

Notes: Loose items in book: Two 8-1/2" x 11" pamphlets, 12 pgs. each (blue covers); Three 11" x 17" and one 8-1/2" x 11" loose maps.
Due to the fact that the additions and changes to the maps were glued over the originals, the pages have become very uneven and rippely, which in turn has cased a thickening of the book. This is allowing the pages to start pulling away from their binding. The covers have some corners torn of which has allowed the bending of some page corners to occur. There are also some changes and notes that are penciled in on the maps.
