Can someone steer me to where I can obtain a street map of downtown Baltimore for about 1888. I have a copy of a envelope addresses to my grandfather's brother: Robert Schmidt 1019 Hillen st, corner of Chestnut. Baltimore. It is dated november 1888. Thank you Mel Schmidt Woodburn, Oregon

Mel, I know Hillen St. is still located here in Baltimore, but I do believe Chestnut has gone by the wayside to make room for the project housing sites. But I will give you a few URL's to see if you can get some maps out of them. >> U.S.Atlas site: 1880 - 1900 >> http://www.genealogybulletin.com/HTML/cyndi.html << is one place, and for another possible site, try...>> Maps on the internet: >> http://www.ahtd.state.ar.us/Maps/MiscMaps/comapnam.jpg <<< Good luck on your search'es.

The address 1019 Hillen should be in the same place today as it was in 1888. It should be in the block between Colvon Street and East Street. According to the old maps I have, Colvon was at one time called Potter and East was called Rogers Avenue. No sign of a Chestnut on any of my maps.
