Baist's Surveys of Denver - Plate 14 (Capitol Hill, Cheeseman Park, Congress Park)
Baist produced small edition atlases featuring the details of a city. Looking at a town piece by piece, these maps show street addresses, subdivisions, building footprints, the building materials used ("brick", "frame", "stone") as well as function (home, stable, greenhouse, church, etc.). While originally produced for Insurance underwriters, they were also employed by the Real Estate industry, but now they are used as indispensable resources for historians, geographers and others.
This rare sheet for a portion of Denver spans from Colfax and Broadway, and over to 8th and Williams. which includes neighborhoods such as a Cap Hill, Cheeseman Park, Congress park.
Condition is fair with some minor soiling throughout the image. Image size 32 x 23 (inches).
