Hello All! Topsham is a section of Sunderland directly west of the Center and Downtown, across the River.

First, an overview to situate yourselves (the outlined portion is Topsham):

In the west of Topsham are single family houses that work up to rowhomes, walkups and even row apartments, but the area around Madison High School is calm, peaceful and affluent:

Some Mixed Development and Roth Grammar (K-8 gr) School overlook the Aanmeer on the tops of the bluffs:

To Continue East on Highmount Blvd, We come to Hepburn St, and a housing project with the best views of and in Sunderland City:

An Office Park was recently built in an abandoned block north on Hepburn St:

The Church of the Ascension overlooks Downtown and the centerline of the Nave aligns with the center of 4th St, Which tunnels under the church and surfaces in the next image:

Here is where 4th St surfaces and interfaces with Hepburn and Telmont. Also Pictured is Telmont Grammar (again, K-8 gr) School.

Northwest on Telmont/4th brings you to the business district of Old Topsham. Here, stores, shops and restaurants line Nicholls Ave, the Western Extension of W 9th St.There is a complex Intersection and partial (to North and from South only) access to the Crosstown parkway, the massive tunnel under the Topsham plateau.

That's All Folks!I tried to label the streets to better acquaint you with Sunderland and the relationships between the buildings and neighborhoods.Thanks for visiting!
