pg 34 Carpenter's Addition (to Lancaster)
The part of Lancaster known as Carpenter's Addition, 
begins with the south side of an alley, sometimes spoken of 
as Carpenter's allley, which, beginning 
at the canal on the western border of the city, runs a due east 
dorectopm tp High street in front of the Methodist Church. 
This alley is situated haldway between Jail and Walnut streets.  
All that part of the city lying south of 
Carperter's alley is properly Carter's Addition. 
Mr. Carpenter was known in his day as Emanuel Carpenter, Junior. 
(In the original play, this alley was 
called Jackson alley.)  He gave three lots on the east 
side of High street, to be used for church and burial purposes. 
The north division of sthis gifst 
is that on which the Methodist Church edifice now stands; 
the middle division belongs sto the  African Methodissts, 
upon which they have erected a commoduous fram church; and the 
south division has been used by the city for 
opej9ng Walnut street.  All the ground in Carperter's 
Addition, extending now as far as Maple street in front of 
Hunter's residenxce, belonged originally 
to Zane's tract, though Carpenter's Addition at first 
lay west of High street, that part lying between High and 
Maple streets having been sold to parties as out-lots, and since 
subdibided and sold as town-lots.
The Zane tract, one mile square, begun on the north side of 
what in known as Lundy's Lane, on the south front of the 
fairgrounds at the foot of Mount Pleasant; its eastern boundary 
was Maple street; it's southern line passed 
from a point a few rods west of the present residence of 
Thomas White, Esq., upon Kootz's hill, thence west past Giesy's 
mill to the west line, to intersect the north line, and embraced 
what is now the residence of G. Mithoss
