road, once rural, ham become suhurhan, and suburban 



streets have been so altered that they are in no wise 



distinguishable from those of town. It is because 



they ivill preserve the appearance and the memory 



of buildings that have had their day and are noic

these volumes will find a welcome ivith those who 



care to cherish something of the records of a day 



that is done.
