The street section

Westminster Road is read from the 1905 directory's street section, line by line. Westminster Road is Kingsway today, with different numbers: the directories print the old name up to 1912. We've matched some of the old numbers to today's lots using the City's 1912 fire insurance map; 2436's lot is today's 288 East 8th Avenue (inferred).
