The house today
Not one of the three addresses the 1940 directory lists on the 2900 block of Alder Street is on the City's list today, so the building at 2919 is probably gone (inferred). A permit to build two frame d houses at 2907–2919 Alder, this one among them, was taken out in August 1910 by W J Harrington, owner and builder: $13,100 for the two.
