Old North End: Historical Development

The place to begin understanding something of the history of the Old North End is with, perhaps, an examination of what might be thought of the very "bones" of the neighborhood: the laying of its streets and the platting of the area. "Platting the Neighborhood" will walk you through this process in the Old North End. The "Maps" section will allow you to compare and contrast maps of the neighborhood in three different time periods: 1880, 1904 and 1958.
