How the name was read

Each atlas was set in type by a different hand and scanned decades later, so the same establishment comes back spelled differently. Every reading below was produced by the recogniser from the sheets; none was corrected or invented. They are published so a search for any of them finds this page.

Second Advent Church

Named in the 1897 county history

The history of Essex County was published 10 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Near Danvers Square, on INIaple street, is the Maple Street Church. On Putnam street is the Advent Church. Hall is on Maple, near Poplar.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Essex County, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
