Most city directories are divided into sections, as:

Alpha – An alphabetical list of all persons and businesses, with other information.

Street – A list of all streets, by address, and the occupant.

Business – A list of all businesses, sorted by business type, with other information.

 

Most city directories contain many typographical errors, which have been copied below as printed.

 

On the 1902 Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, 530-540 South Adams, which are on the river side of the street, north of Walnut and south of Bridge (now Franklin), appear to be at least two connected buildings of two to three floors, with fire escapes on three sides and several bay windows along Adams. The south end of the property, with three floors, is listed as the Peoria House and sections of the building described as office, dinning room, kitchen and hotel rooms. 534 is described as a cigar factory and there is a “hall” on the second floor of 530-532.

 

An 1897 Peoria City Directory advertisement for the Hotel Brunswick clearly shows this as a four-story building. A later postcard, as Smith's Hotel, shows the building slightly modified, as the top floor has shorter windows along Adams.

 

This building burned and was demolished in about 1925. Starting with the 1931 PCD, 534-540 South Adams are no longer listed and 542 is home to the Illinois Terminal Railroad Company passenger station and offices. Sometime between 1953 and 1955, the same building at 542 becomes the Peoria City Police Department. This building still stands and is used for other city purposes. The new Police building is across Walnut street in the 600 block of South Adams.
