1890 brochure

Here is an excerpt from the an 1890 brochure, which was produced by the Kenilworth Company to promote the attractive features of Kenilworth:

“The desire for a home in the country, with its pure air, quiet, green grass, forest shade, and all the comforts and delights of rural life, when such conditions can be combined with the conveniences of the city, becomes more and more urgent each year with the increase in traffic and manufacturing industries of our city, and the consequent din, smoke, impure air and disagreeable and unhealthy odors.”
