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.

Named in the 1903 county history

The history of Franklin County was published 1 year after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

. The Court House { uow the Gazette buildiugj is seen with a small spire, on the left; the first building northward was the Greenfield Bank (now the First National). The Second Congregational Church (the Old Brick) is seen on the right; the High School for Young Ladies, established in 1828, is a short distance to the south, while north of the Church is the Roger Newton House, moved back upon Newton Place when a new Court House was built.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Franklin 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.
