Street Numbering Notes

For several years I have researched early family history and with it came several old artifacts.
I hope you enjoyed the 1903 phone book and maps.

With the help of the senior librarian at the Glenbow Museum I have a small list of the street names to numbering system. This change took place during 1904 and there is two reference sources quoted below.
The first reference listed as "Chinook" is from Once Upon a Chinook, published in Past and Present by Century Calgary Publications (1975). The second "Bone" refers to When Steel Went Through by P. Turner Bone, MacMillan (1947). They are both available at the Glenbow.

Today 1903 and before
