Killarney

592 addresses on 32 streets, in the 1940 city directory

Only one in nine of Killarney's addresses still has a building from before 1946, fewer than the one in three on the rest of the site's streets. Owners filled Killarney: three in four of its households in 1940 carry the directory's mark for a family member owning the house, while the rest of the site has half.

Who lived at each house is read on every street in 1940.
