A Rare Opportunity on eBay! 1887 Griffith M. Hopkins MapWashington, DC A Complete Set of Surveys and Plats of the Properties in the City of Washington , District of Columbia Produced in Philadelphia , 1887 I'm selling my duplicate copies of individual and ORIGINAL Hopkins Map pages from their esteemed 1887 color map of Washington, DC. I'll be listing 33 Map pages in all, sold by the page (see below for other page numbers). These are the original, hand colored maps that were the first finely detailed maps produced of the city. I've not seen these on any digitized CD's, and I've also never seen them before on eBay! They show many, many buildings long gone, many lot owners names from 1887, building addresses, lot sizes and back buildings (carriage houses, fuel sheds, etc), and even many wood frame houses on lots now occupied by Victorian townhouses. You've no doubt used the tiny, black and white, microfilmed versions with their many flaws, scratch lines, and small print outs, but now you can own the original! These always bring lots of attention when and wver I lecture in Washington on house history, and would be especially nice framed on your wall if your house falls on one of the many delineated city squares and blocks. I bought two incomplete sets at great expense from a Historical Society of Washington sale about ten years
