Crowell To Survey Newly Named Chestnut Hill

Event date: Nov 24, 1882

Mr. Geo. E. Crowell, since his recent purchase of land belonging to the estate of the late Isaac Hines, on what is commonly called Hine’s hill, for which the very appropriate name of Chestnut hill is now suggested – has caused a survey to be made of the entire hill, with the view of opening it up for building lots, with suitable avenues and cross streets. A reservoir of 2,000,000 gallons capacity is to be located on the hill.
