Item · 26-Jul-62
Item consists of original and copy of a map showing land ownership and location of buildings in Africville. The original map is in black and white, and the legend lists Dwellings, Other Buildings, Buildings Demolished, Incinerator and Abattoir Buildings, N.S.L. & P. Towers, Baptist Church Africville, Boundary of Land Expropriated by the City, Boundary of C.N.R. Property, and Boundary of NS Co-operative Abattoir Ltd. Each of these features are indicated on the map, and most buildings are numbered. Map shows the footprint of buildings, topographic lines, railway lines, and the shore-line. The second map appears to be a copy of the first with the original drawing number P500/46 crossed out, and R-129 handwritten underneath. It shows the same area and gives the same legend, though colour has been added to the legend and the map to make buildings and boundaries more identifiable, presumably at least in part because the copying process did not adequately show the patterns used in the legend of the original map to designate different buildings.
