Lane. Buildings 062 and 981 were also in this subdivision, but are not included in this report.
2. Demolition dates of these buildings have not been determined, but no indication of their use for

ADDENDUM NO. 1
Among the residents of theae buildings were the follwing:
H 940 - 1926 City Directory: Harry Saunders and C. W. Ferguson. (The house was a double at 2196/
2198 Lisle; not 2192 &a estimated in report above)- 1927 Day and Charles Ferguson
- 1929 Saunders and Charles Ferguson
- 1932 City Directory: Lloyd Blackburn at 2196 Lisle
H 945 or H 946 - the 1932 City Directory lists Alva M. Farley at 2243 Wood Avenue.
McCracken (4:l7A) lists a brick barn and a frame house as being acquired by purchase. Presumably the brick
barn was building 062 and the frame barn was H 948. He states that the frame barn was razed and the good
material salvaged but does not give the date.
A 1929 aerial photograph shown Building 023 completed and the scars where building H 948 had been removed.
This supports Professor Knunkle's recollection as stated in the second paragraph of this report.
On May 16, 1932 the Cabinet authorized use of materials from demolition of H 940 for constructing an
implement shed. (See Building 330)
