ZONING AND BUILDING INSPECTOR DATE
1889 Sanborn Map
Union Avenue was renumbered in 1928 so the house that is numbered 145 Union Avenue is not
the current residence The house that is numbered 145 Union Avenue, today is 67 Union Avenue.
1889 Sanborn Map
Union Avenue was renumbered in 1928. Original number of 145 Union Avenue appears to be
225 Union Avenue.
1895 Sanborn Map
No changes to 225 Union Avenue, today 145 Union Avenue.
1900 Sanborn Map
No changes to 225 Union Avenue, today 145 Union Avenue with the exception that the porch on
the west side was removed. A small one-story accessory building is at the rear of the property,
but it is uncertain if it is associated with 223 or 225 Union Avenue.
1900corrected to 1926 Sanborn Map
Shows the one-story garage. Indicating it was built between 1900 and 1926.
1900 corrected to 1948 Sanborn Map
The 1948 and 1950 Sanborn Map shows the addition of the porch on the east side of the rear extension. It also lists a three -car
garage.
1900corrected to 1963 Sanborn Map
1900corrected to 1972 Sanborn Map
The current garage is only a two -bay garage and has a smaller footprint than what it is shown on the 1948, 1950, 1963, and 1972
Sanborn Maps, indicating that at some point the three-car garage was removed and replaced with a two car garage. It appears
that when the current two-car garage was constructed materials— such as the six-panel door, six-pane fixed windows, and
novelty siding — may have been salvaged and incorporated into the new garage.
