Stretches of addresses and names line a historical map entry
A dense list of residents, businesses, and properties along multiple avenues and streets. The record reads like a street directory with names such as J P Hein, Christine Greenberg, Rosario Cavallaro, River Forest Tennis Club, and Anton Amundson, interspersed with vacant lots and landmark notes like Oak av and Maple Ave near Thatcher av and Desplaines River. The entry notes utility and property markers, including 201 Ib Ibsen, 300 River Forest Tennis Club, and 333 rear F L Willis, reflecting a snapshot of a community layout and ownership.
