Facsimile of the six Sanborn fire-insurance surveys of Clinton, Missouri, made between 1885 and 1918, reproduced in full color from the Library of Congress copies. Together they cover the Henry County seat: the brick business blocks of Main, Franklin, Jefferson and Washington streets around the Public Square and the County Court House, the hotels and opera house, the railroad depots, mills, elevators, potteries and lumber yards along the tracks, Artesian Park, and the residential streets of the Original Town and Avery's, Weaver's, Davis and Williams additions and Duncan's subdivision.

In 1885 three sheets show the Public Square and its business blocks, the Tebo Mill and Elevator Co., J. G. Middlecoff's Clinton Mills, Highnote and Barker's woolen and saw mill, the Clinton Gas Works, the Clinton Ice Co., the stock yards and Baird College, a female boarding school. The 1891 survey adds the City Hall, Centre Block, the Gerhardt Hotel, Hotel Shull and Hotel Woods, the Clinton Brick Co., the Gas and Electric Co.'s electric light works, the pottery, street railway barns and water works, Weber Bros.' rolling mill, the Western Roller Mills, the White Swan Mills and the Franklin School. In 1896 come the Planters, Gulf and Elliston hotels, Hotel Burrell, the Artesian Park Hotel, Myer and Bulte's flour mills and elevator, the Clinton Roller Mills, Wise Bros.' pottery, the Industrial Iron Works, W. Langerhan's soda water works, the K. C., O. and S. and M. K. and T. R. R. depots, the Normal Business College and the Jefferson Park and Lincoln schools. The 1902 edition shows the Victoria Hotel and Hotel Atkinson, the Clinton Stoneware Co., Clinton Steam Laundry, Clinton Nursery, Wagner bottling works, Wright and Austin Candy Co., the St. L. and S. F. R. R. depot and the Washington School. By 1909 the maps add the Armory, Skating Rink, Opera House, Post Office, the Frisco round house and repair shop, M. Bernheimer's Banner Mill, the Elsner ice plant and the U. S. Packing Co. and Swift and Co. poultry houses, and in 1918 the Clinton High School, Clinton Seminary, Clinton Hospital, Holy Rosary Academy, the Y. M. C. A., Hotel Cozart, the Midland and Richardson hotels, the Larabee Flour Mills, Western Stone Ware Co., Clinton Light and Water Co.'s power house and the Clinton Overall M'f'g Co.

Between 1885 and 1918 the Sanborn map companies of New York surveyed Clinton six times for the fire-insurance trade, drawing the town at fifty feet to the inch in the five editions of 1885 to 1909 and to the same scale by the scale bars of the 1918 edition. Every building is shown to scale and color-coded for construction (yellow for frame, pink for brick, blue for stone), with heights, uses, mill machinery, railroad tracks, hydrants and water pipes all marked. The editions of 1891 to 1918 each have an index of streets and named businesses, mills, churches, schools and hotels and a key map of the town, and a divider page introduces each edition.

This Tangletown Press edition is an unabridged facsimile republication of the atlas: all fifty-two map sheets of the six editions of 1885, 1891, 1896, 1902, 1909 and 1918, with the index and key map of every edition from 1891 to 1918, each edition introduced by a divider page. Ideal for local historians, genealogists, architects, preservationists and anyone tracing a Clinton address back to 1885-1918.
