Rare Original 1892 "Mt. Tabor Views" Color Real Estate Brochure Found
The MTNA Neighborhood History Project group tracked down a rare, original color copy of the 1892 "Mt. Tabor Views" real estate brochure. Norm Gholston, with the Architectural Heritage Foundation, has an original copy in his personal collection. Norm scanned all 24 pages for us. The brochure includes amazing, detailed drawings of different views of our neighborhood in 1892 and descriptions of what the neighborhood was like back then. You can view the brochure here. Please contact the MTNA (contact.mtna@gmail.com) if you have any questions or would like more information.
