Hello! I am an architect doing some historical research on the neighborhood. I am trying to tie a few names of former residents from the 1930s to particular properties. All I have at present are old R.F.D. mailbox numbers. These were the old mailboxes that one saw in many parts of the country that were ganged together at various point along a rural road. (RFD stands for Rural Free Delivery.) This mail system predates street addresses. I am hoping some can point me to a map or list of the area that would tie the old box number to a present day street address. Any ideas of who might be of assistance would be greatly appreciated!
