Northfield Gems is a website designed to help prospective students and freshmen explore Division Street’s current businesses and also its deep history. The website is broken down to three parts. First part is a story map that introduces some of the students’ favorite restaurants as well some editors’ picks. Second part is a historical story map that combines the Sanborn Maps of 1884~1922 and various historical pictures and facts to lead the viewers through a virtual tour through 19~20th century Division Street. Lastly, the third part of our project is a data visualization documenting the trends in real estate data of Division Street buildings including the change in their overall value over time. Here is the link to the website.
