History of Westchester County, New York — Passage 141 (part 2)
[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] In 1862 Clark & Wagner, of Philadelphia, published a very accurate 11 Map of the Town-ships of Ossining and Mount Pleasant, Westchester County, N. Y., from Kccent and Actual Survey." The scale was three inches to a mile. At one side was a map of the village of Sing Sing. The borders of this large map were illustrated with a number of engravings of prominent resi-dences, including one of the quaint old " Lockadian Gardens," a spot which will long be remembered by the older citizens of the village. It was the place now occupied by Mr. Charles Klunder, the distinguished florist and lloral decorator. In 1881 G. W. and Walter S. Bromley, of New York City, published a quarto " Atlas of Westchester County, N. Y." The town of Ossining is represented in a map OH a scale of two thousand feet to an inch; Sing Sing on a scale of three hundred and thirty feet to an inch. In 1884 L. It. Burleigh, of Troy, N. Y., published a lithographic birds-eye view of Sing Sing, twenty by thirty inches square. As an evidence of the extreme degree to which the speculative spirit of 1830 was carried in the matter of growth in cities and villages, we find registered in the county ball of lecords " a map of three hundred building-lots, eligibly situated in the village of Sing Sing, August, lSliS, by Samuel S. Doughty, of New York City, surveyor." This map is of the farm of fifty-two acres, now owned by Mr. John Kane.
