The Chamberlain Addition
|
The Chamberlain Addition, platted on
land owned by Elijah Chamberlain, was opened after statehood & before
WWI. Two blocks adjoining the First School Land Addition were
included in the area incorporated in 1905, but the Chamberlain Addition
does not appear on the 1907 plat map.
The portion next to the School Land Addition filled quickly but
southward growth still continues. It now includes many homes that
had not been built in 1966 and are therefore excluded from this study.
In the chart below, occupants are listed for 1966, street names are current,
and the house
numbers shown in red were taken from the 1955 telephone book.

We've
undoubtedly missed some families
and some of these dates are only wild guesses, but with the map to jog memories
we hope to fill in the blanks and identify the families who lived in houses that weren't on the
sketch. If you have more pieces to contribute to the puzzle, please write Sharon
McAllister. |
