May 7, 1901, in the Barre Evening Telegram, page 3:

Historic newspapers often provide fascinating glimpses of the changing landscape of towns and cities. This was an advertisement for house lots by a developer in Barre, Vermont, which were likely never developed in entirety, as neither Congress or Federal Street exist today. Pretty neat!

This was also posted on our Facebook, where we usually post bits of information on Chronicling America, news and updates, interesting newspaper discoveries, this day in history (like this one), and more!
