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.

 

801 and 803 South Adams, southwest corner of Oak, is shown as a two-story building, with a two-story addition at the rear, on a 1902 map. This is probably the same two-story brick building at that corner which is shown to be Brown Bag Video on current Google maps. That building has a great deal of “ghost writing” on the front and Oak Street side, none of which can be read.

 

This address, as both or either 801 and/or 803 South Adams, was first known as the Union Depot Hotel from 1879 to 1885 and then again under new management from 1889 to 1892. For two years, 1886 and 1887, it was known as the Romer House. There was another Union Depot Hotel open at the same time at Water and Chestnut, with different ownership.
