Facsimile of the 1910 Sanborn fire-insurance atlas of Patchogue, New York, reproduced in full color from the Library of Congress copy. It covers the whole Suffolk County village of 7,000 people on Long Island's Great South Bay, from the stores, hotels and theatre of Main Street and Ocean Avenue through the lace mill, steel-tape works, brewery and Long Island Rail Road yards to the ship yards and oyster houses on the Patchogue River and the bay, the summer hotels, the schools, churches and residential streets between Patchogue Lake and the Swan River.

The twenty-seven numbered sheets that follow work block by block from the stores, banks and offices along Main Street, Ocean Avenue, West Avenue and Railroad Avenue - the Post Office, the Town Clerk's Office, the Fire Department headquarters and Park Street station, the Patchogue Library, the Mills Building and Roe's Block, the Swezey & Newins department store, the Lyceum Theatre, the Advance and Argus printing offices, and the Roe's, Central, Exchange, Greenfield's, Crawford's, Bartlett House, Smithport and Pine Grove hotels - through the Long Island Rail Road passenger station, freight and locomotive houses, the Patchogue Manufacturing Company's lace mill on Patchogue Lake, the Roe & Sons steel tape works, the Hiscox Chemical Works, the Welz & Zerwick brewery, the Long Island Bottling Company, the Hygeia Ice Company, the Patchogue Electric and Gas companies, the Great South Bay Water Company pumping station, the Patchogue Steam Laundry, the Abraham & Straus distributing station, the Metropolitan Tobacco Company, the Bailey lumber yard and planing mill, the Wood & Vrooman and Weeks coal and lumber yards, the Bishop, Conklin, Miller and Baker ship yards, boat builders and sail lofts and the Nassau Oyster Company on the Patchogue River and the bay, to the Great South Bay Yacht Club, the Bay View Pavilion, Conklin's Oyster House, the Laurel House, Mascot House, The Clifton, The Winona, the Ocean Avenue Hotel, the Old Oak Hotel, the Patchogue Inn and West Lake Inn, the High School, the Wilmot M.

In 1910 the Sanborn Map Company of New York surveyed Patchogue for the fire-insurance trade, drawing the city at fifty feet to the inch. Every building is shown to scale and color-coded for construction (yellow for frame, pink for brick, blue for stone), with heights, uses, windows, party walls, hydrants, water mains and fire stations all marked. The index lists every street and every named business, church, school, hotel, mill and works with the sheet it appears on, and the key map places the colored sheet grid over the whole city.

This Exile Books edition is an unabridged facsimile republication of the atlas: all twenty-eight numbered map sheets, 1 to 28, sheet 1 being the combined title, key map and index sheet with its report on the water facilities and fire department. Ideal for local historians, genealogists, architects, preservationists and anyone tracing a Patchogue address back to 1910.
