I thought previous question was about renumbering , not renaming.
There may have been more than one renumbering and but one around 1920.
One thing to do is follow your family and a group of the neighbors
through several years of city directories. If they all seem to move it
was probably and renumbering. One city directory around 1920 has new and
old numbers. Willard has the city directories, mostly on microfilm.
9th and Franklin would be 2 blocks west of the bridge. Bridge is between
7th and 8th, but there also several sets of railroad tracks in the
area. 9th is about where the Red Bird gas station was located.

I recall this being asked a few weeks ago and didn't save the
answer
1. About what year were the streets in Evansville renamed? On some of the early census
I see streets that I don't recognize.
2. Also I have a page from the Evansville German paper-- a death notice on Margaretha
Spindler Fischer-- it states her house was on the corner of Franklin the 9th Avenue,
Independence. This would be in the Lasmaco area and I don't know if 9th is east of
west of the Pigeon Bridge on Franklin. But was that area originally called
Independence?
