Thanks for the link! I wonder if the explosion of new houses doesn’t represent new buildings, but rather the first time things were assessed. I will try and find out for you.
Wasn’t there some sort of issue with lost records from that time period, and lots of property being given “guesstimate” dates around 1900? I know the house I lived in has a 1910 date on assessment records, but maps show it as being present as early as 1890.
