1836/37 Providence City Directory


1836/37 PROVIDENCE CITY DIRECTORY N.B. In order to avoid needless repetition, the word street is omitted in the direction -- it will however, be understood, that 10 Water means 10 Water street, and the numbers of the houses are given on all such streets as are numbered. Persons unacqainted in the City, in looking for numbers will observe that the odd numbers are all on one side, and the even numbers all on the other, on all streets except those running by the water side. Where two directions are given, the first is the place business, the last the place of residence.
