Barnstable, the shire town of Barnstable County on Cape Cod, was a village of white-painted houses, churches, and county offices in 1893, when this bird's-eye view was drawn. Its livelihood still rested on the sea, through fishing, coastal schooner trade, and the shipbuilding and captaining that had long made Cape towns known along the Atlantic coast. The railroad had reached the Cape decades earlier, and by the 1890s summer visitors were beginning to arrive in greater numbers, bringing boarding houses and a new kind of business to the shore. Residents in the village would have known the place as a quiet seat of county government set between the harbor and the salt meadows, where old captains' families and newer merchants shared the same streets.
