W. Bromley or his brother Walter S. Bromley has not yielded much information on the life of the brothers or how the New York Public library came into possession of many of the maps produced by G. W. Bromley & Co.$bWhat is known is the purpose the maps served. Like most maps created at this time, the maps were designed to assist fire insurance agents in determining the degree of hazard associated with a particular property and therefore show the size, shape, and construction of dwellings, commercial buildings, and factories as well as fire walls, locations of windows and doors, sprinkler systems, and types of roofs. The maps also indicate widths and names of streets, property boundaries, building use, and house and block numbers. These fire insurance atlases were made in the early twentieth century and were published for the New York metropolitan area by G.W. Bromley and Company. They were purchased by a variety of clients including real estate brokers, insurance and railroad companies, government departments, and individuals for private use. G.W. Bromley & Company eventually also published atlases of Boston, Philadelphia and several other East Coast cities. Following the death of the brothers, the company concentrated its efforts on New York with the final known imprint bearing the Bromley name published in that city in 1960. 545 – Biographical or historical Data, 0 – Biographical sketch, $b – Expansion RELATIONSHIP: 600 14$aBromley, G.
