Does the 1874 map accurately reflect that portion of Chicago that remained destroyed three years after the fire?
Panoramic maps of certain industrial cities in the late nineteenth century, studied in conjunction with films from other American Memory collections, allow one to understand the life of a factory worker in industrialized North America. Click, for instance, on the map of Wilmerding, Pennsylvania and locate the Westinghouse Air Brake Company. Then, search on the term Wilmerding in the collection, Inside an American Factory: Westinghouse Works, 1904. You will find three films from 1904 that take you inside the Westinghouse Air Brake factory to see foundrymen pouring hot liquid into molds and performing other tasks. Together, the map and the films form a particularly powerful narrative regarding the life of a Wilmerding factory worker.
