Title: World's End estate

Type: Publications and printed material

Description: Pamphlet advertising the sale of property at Seal Cove and Martin's Cove at World's End located in Hingham, Massachusetts. Information about the area and contact information for the seller is on the second page. An aerial photograph of World's End and a map illustrating the proposed subdivisions are also included. Established by John Brewer in 1866, World's End in Hingham, Massachusetts originated as a vast farming estate on a peninsula, Sarah Island, and Langley Island. In 1889 Frederick Law Olmsted designed a series of residential subdivisions at the location. Even though the plan was created and roads were created, the development never actual occurred. Over the years many suggestions to develop the landscape had taken place, such as a United Nations Headquarters and a nuclear power plant.
