Blueprint of Dallas Mill Village, 1893

This blueprint of the Dallas Mill Village was created by Oscar Goldsmith, owner of the Huntsville Land Company and Treasurer of Dallas Manufacturing Company, to show the Dallas board of directors the expansion of the mill village. By February 20, 1893, the Huntsville Land Company had built 50 double houses for the employees of Dallas Mill and was contracted to build 25 more that year. The blocks highlighted in red are were homes were already built in February 1893 and the blocks in black are the planned construction sites.

Boardman Papers, 1825-1845

Apparently lawyer Cabaniss attended to the affairs of Elijah Boardman. Elijah and his brother entered into Huntsville activities at least at the time of statehood, 1819, when John was the printer for the new state constitution. Elijah established an imported stock farm and race horse stables. Both were active but unfortunately both fell into disgrace and headed, as many others had, to Mississippi. Included in this file is the Certificate of Stock in the Huntsville Theatre, #1, 1825, racing and boarding accounts with his sometimes partners. The racing events were quite extent traveling to Nashville and New York among other venues. For further information see Nancy M. Rohr "Off to the Races," Huntsville Historical Review, W-S 2010, pp. 35-57.
