National Prohibition Park, Staten Island, 1898
A whole dry town, mapped from the air and sold by the lot.
What
A bird's-eye map by O. H. Bailey & Co. for the National Prohibition Park Company, Westerleigh, Staten Island, held by the Library of Congress.
Why
The Prohibition movement built a residential suburb, and this map sold its streets and numbered lots.
Notice
The vignettes of houses along the top, and the folds, tears and wear the Library's own record describes.
“A temperance utopia, drawn as real estate.”
