Part of Region of Peel Archives map and plan collection

File consists of a fire insurance plan of Brampton, unbound from its original state. The copy was issued to Mr. P. G. Early of Brampton.

The plans cover developed areas at that point, a range roughly spanning from English Street in the north, to Fraser Street in the south, Joy Street past McMurchy Avenue in the west, and Lynch Street in the east, including properties like the Brampton Fairgrounds, Dale Estate greenhouses, and the County of Peel administrative lands. At the time, population was listed as 4770.

Fonds consists of fire insurance plans documenting contemporary building features for the purpose of assessing fire risk. Information includes the type of construction, number of storeys and proximity to other buildings. Each plan consists of a number of sections which, when assembled together, constitute a complete map of the town/village at that time, with street and building names clearly indicated. Buildings are also colour coded according to the type of fabrication, with colours corresponding to a key plan on the first section. Periodically, these plans were revised. Dates of revision are clearly marked. These plans provide a detailed overview of contemporary community development and are an invaluable source of information for dating buildings and for use in matters such as environmental site assessments. Fonds is comprised of the following series: Belmont, 1894; Fingal, 1896; Shedden, 1896; Vienna, 1896; West Lorne, 1906; Springfield, 1906; Port Stanley, 1925; Rodney, 1926; St. Thomas, 1922 (Revised and Reprinted 1929); Port Burwell, 1896; Dutton, 1946; Aylmer, 1952.
