Default Peck & Snyder OFFICIAL answer!!

Posted By: Joe P.

Hopefully one from the 1865 - 1875 era.
With a possible close up of the City Hall and Lower East Side area.

The request is not just for my interest to see if there were any changes to the streets then vs current maps, but also one from William Marcy Tweed.
His memory has failed him, and he's trying to retrieve some of his plunder.

For those of you that are not familiar with The Boss, he was from that period, and he controlled everything, including Peck's removes.

About a possible scan of the vintage maps, I'm very serious about that. ... Thanks.

Beam me up Scotty!
