[MassHistPres] Sanborn maps

[Steinitz, Michael (SEC)]

The hatched lines indicate porches.  Open circles as depicted usually  indicate vertical pipes.  Not sure about the slash in the lower left (D).  Could be a "1" indicating that portion of the building is just one story.

Looking for help identifying symbols on part of a Sanborn map. None of the keys found via Google were helpful. I've attached the image to this email. If unavailable as an attachment let me know and I will send to you. Thank you.
