Much better than the city records which use 1900 for all buildings that were standing in the city prior to 1920. Alot of other areas are given the date of when the neighborhood was annexed into the city. The dates in the nominations are usually based on maps and city directories and where we are lucky, post 1907, on building permits. Unfortunately, when writing a register nomination time does not permit exhaustive research on each building, especially for very large districts like Oakwood/Chimborazo. But we do our best.

I get so enthused when I read about the history of our collective neighborhoods. So many residents don't know about the history of their house and neighborhood, but come to appreciate the value of preserving the historic integrity after reading reports like this. thanks for printing this information.

The city records can be off, with many having a date of 1900 when an actual date is unknown. I’d be inclined to believe that these application have the more credible information.

When I bought my house on the 3300 block of E. Marshall the city records indicated it was built around 1922, this report says it was built ca. 1890. I'm confused...30 years is a huge difference.

The history here is alive. It invades our(we who live here) thinking.We walk with the ghosts of John Marshall, all who were in the excellent reinactment recently on PBS, historic route #5, Nine MIle Road which was the main road to the east, plus so much more. And now we hear the Queen is coming. Geesh! I love this place!! Lu Motley Good morning Mac,
