That's so cool.

I don't have an old photo to contribute, but I am doing a little research on the house we bought. We were told it was built in 1929/30. But then I found the 1922 City of Hamilton Directory, 49th edition, published by Henry Vernon & Son.

This Directory is a great resource. Here's a link: http://archive.org/stream/vernonhamilton00vernuoft#page/n3/mode/2up

The streets are listed alphabetically.

Our street address shows up, with the name of the occupant. So it was built perhaps a few years earlier than 1922.

I started looking into the 1911 Census, but there is no specific Ward 3 enumeration, as far as I can tell.

Now I'm determined to do more digging!
