Antique blueprint plan of the Coffin Estate, Watertown, Mass

The Coffin Estate

DESCRIPTION: Rare late 19th-century blueprint of house lots for sale just northwest of Mt. Auburn Cemetery. A fine antique plat of the Coffin Estate in Watertown Massachusetts. Previously unrecorded plat with no copies found anywhere. The area covered in this blueprint is bounded by Arlington Street and Prentiss Street at cross streets of Dewey St., Sampson Street, and Keenan St., now E-W rather than N-S as shown. Data included for each lot includes lot dimensions, total square feet, and lot number.

19th century blueprints are generally scarce as blueprinting had only been invented in the 1870's and by 1899 was beginning to become widely adopted as a quick method of reproducing maps, plans, and architectural diagrams.

By E.F. Bowker, Engineer and Surveyor, 671 Massachusetts Ave. Cambridgeport, Mass. MS surveyor's number "1809" in corners. Dated within at January 9, 1899.
