Rare '20s maps of lower E Side

[EASTSIDE CAT 67-83]

I thought these would be germane to the conversation, the one thing I have always wondered about the early development of the area is where the landfill material to fill the marshland came from. As neighborhoods go, this one made some very dramatic changes in a relatively short time. I grew up on the first block of chalmers and some of the earliest houses built on my block were constructed in 1917. This map is from 1876, 1921,1904 and 1917 sorry they are out of order they didn't want to upload without a fight. In the 1921 map you can see that Port and Starboard lagoon have been dug for the Greyhaven development.
