A small book with a vast memory. Lives recorded and streets remembered.Originally compiled as a practical municipal handbook, Henry M. Meek’s The Everett Directory is a historic city directory that functions as both a vintage address book and a nineteenth century reference. Its alphabetical lists of inhabitants and business firms, street-by-street house guide and numerical arrangement of residences create an urban street guide and family residence guide of extraordinary detail. Residences are shown in right and left hand columns and streets are cross-referenced to indicate where they intersect - a layout that makes tracing a household or following local trade routes straightforward. The practical layout - names and numbers aligned on opposing columns, streets described alphabetically and cross-indexed - makes the book a genuine family address book and a field tool for reconstructing neighbourhood life. Local business listings sit beside personal names; notices of societies and notes on city government capture community society records and the workings of antique city government, while descriptive entries bring the cadence of everyday civic life into focus.As a primary source for Everett, Massachusetts, in the 1800s this volume is an indispensable massachusetts history resource and a practical genealogy research tool for family historians seeking addresses, occupations and civic ties. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Useful to local historians, archivists and casual readers curious about regional life, this collectors directory edition also rewards classic-literature collectors and ephemera enthusiasts who prize authentic period detail. Used alongside census returns, parish registers and property deeds, the directory often supplies the missing detail that turns a name into a place. Its appeal spans hands-on research to armchair exploration of nineteenth-century urban life.
