Windsor Terrace in seven maps

Published the same year as the Bleecker auction. The Windsor Terrace area is still open farmland; only two named landowners (A.S. Bergen and Martense) labeled in the future-Windsor-Place tract. Captures the pre-subdivision moment.

Prospect Park is labeled — its 1866 commissioning is reflected. The Windsor Terrace street grid appears partially cut. Lott, Lefferts, and Vanderbilt added to the Bergen/Martense landowner roll. The Dutch Reformed Church and a Roman Catholic church are labeled.

Full subdivision. BRAXTON ST is labeled — its name 14 years before the 1888 rename. SHERMAN ST and VANDERBILT AV confirm the 1854 founding deed's street grid. 28 farm-line owners named, including five Cortelyous, two Wyckoffs, two Vanderbilts, three Berrys (one a woman, Rachel Berry), three Clarkes, and Edwin C. Litchfield.

WINDSOR PL. labeled — the 1888 Aldermen rename has propagated into commercial cartography within 12 months. Braxton Street is gone. Sherman, Seeley, and Vanderbilt St all still labeled. Curiously, the same map still labels Herkimer rather than Brevoort Place — the cartographer caught one of the two paired renames but missed the other.

Three years after Flatbush was annexed by Brooklyn. The formerly-Town-of-Flatbush land is seamlessly integrated into the Brooklyn street grid; no remaining boundary line. WINDSOR PL. labeled, plus TERRACE PL. (a separate street that retains the ‘Terrace’ from the original area name). The area is part of Brooklyn's 22nd Ward. Prospect Park & Coney Island R.R. and Brooklyn, Bath & West End R.R. labeled.

Block-by-block fire-insurance detail. 63 buildings on Windsor Place 1-129, 100% brick, 62 two-story dwellings with porches and brick-filled party walls, plus the 4-story Home for the Aged Little Sisters of the Poor (with laundry, wagon house, and labeled ‘a room for corpses’) and the Hefft Memorial Baptist Church. The Sanborn matches the 1900 Riegel deed's ‘party wall’ language verbatim.

The eastern continuation. 25 buildings, predominantly brick row houses, plus the five-section Catholic parish complex: School of the Holy Name at 124, 132, 134, 138, 140 (3-story brick, ‘HEAT: STEAM — LIGHTS GAS’) and the Church of the Holy Name. One frame-construction holdout: a 1-story Ice House at 136 Windsor Place, almost certainly the parish ice service. Plus Hartman's Circle Hotel.
