[Lincolnparkdc] Historical Article about our Neighborhood

Mon May 2 17:47:57 EDT 2022

Several years ago I found a microfiche copy of the building permit, a
partial 1st floor floor plan, and a plan of the facade in he Washingtonian
section of the MLK library. Also plat of the neighborhood. And directories,
cross-listed by resident and by address, in the old Carnegie Library. Not
sure where those directories are now. House was built in 1907.
