When were the Sandusky east/west streets renumbered?
According to the 1915 Sandusky City Directory, “The new numbering system has been used on the first two blocks of Columbus Avenue, Jackson and Wayne Sts., and on East Market, East Water and East and West Washington Row, and on [sic] first two blocks on West Market and West Water.” “The new system allows a number for every 10 feet in the business section one for every 22 feet in the residence section. When completed all east and west streets will be numbered each way from Columbus Avenue.” (page 12) Prior to the change, street numbers began at the eastern edge of the city (at Meigs St.) and progressed from east to west through the entire city. For example, before the street numbers were changed, the Rush Sloane house, located at the corner of Adams and Franklin was 335 Adams. After the street numbers were updated, the address is 403 East Adams.
