The discovery that real estate agent Matthew Greenberg made when he
stepped inside a Mount Washington cottage will put the Los Angeles

Stashed everywhere in the 948-square-foot tear-down were maps. Tens of
thousands of maps. Fold-out street maps were stuffed in file cabinets,
crammed into cardboard boxes, lined up on closet shelves and jammed into
old dairy crates. Wall-size roll-up maps once familiar to schoolchildren
were stacked in corners. Old globes were lined in rows atop bookshelves
also filled with maps and atlases.
