This blog post summarizes my work decoding the 1887 Tuscaloosa Panoramic Map. With the exception of two blocks, the street right-of-ways in the original Tuscaloosa are unchanged since 1821. (north boundary: the river; west boundary: Martin Luther King Boulevard to 15th Street: South Boundary: corner of 15th Street and MLK Boulevard to corner of Queen City Boulevard and 15th Street; east boundary: Queen City Boulevard from 15th Street to the river)

 I have a scan of the 1993 Union Furniture color version on file at Tuscablue and they can print HUGE copies at their cost. Please feel free to share any of this with those who may be interested.

 

I don't have a succinct narrative to describe HORNET ROW.

ANYWAYZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...

If ya click on this blog post and scroll ALL THE WAY DOWN to where it says "Why do yon mountains turn the musing eye", you'll see the newspaper clipping that turned me on to HORNET ROWThe store PAUSE (2306 6TH STREET) is inside the old Leland Hardware store which is on part of the subdivision of Lot 166 which was the southeast corner of the block when it was first sold in 1821. Lot 166 is the northwest corner of Monroe Street (23rd Avenue which ends at the Drish House past 15th St. and if ya walk out there in the middle of 23rd Ave. and look south, you'll see the Drish House which was originally called Monroe Place and it was all named for President Monroe who ordered Lot 166 sold in October of 1821) and Cotton Street.
