Montague's Richmond Directory & Business Advertiser, for 1850-51 - Masonic

[Shockoe Hill Cats]

I'm taking a break so I don't blow my brains out after looking at nearly fifteen years of city directories. ugh!

Anyways, I thought some people might enjoy this listing under "Benevolent Institutions" in the 1850-51 Richmond Directory, arranged by William L. Montague and printed in Richmond, Va. Sorry my scan wasn't the greatest.

Any list of milliners you can scan and post would be greatly appreciated.

Sure can, in fact, I saw several listings and printed ads. After my finals, I'll go back and get them all when I have some free time.

here's the 1856 version on GoogleBooks:

Wow, that just totally could have saved me about an hour of scans. However, I was looking at:

-1819, The Richmond directory, register and almanac.. pub. by J. Maddox
-1850/51, Montague’s Richmond directory and business advertiser*
-1852, The Richmond directory and business advertiser.. by W.L. Montague
-1855, Butters’ Richmond directory
-1856, The Richmond directory and business advertiser.. by M. Ellyson*
-1858/59, Richmond business directory.. by E.M. Coffield & Co.
-1860, Directory for the city of Richmond.. by W.E. Ferslew.

I think all but the two starred are unavailable on Google Books, however.
