Scott Avenue Culver 1924 Sanborn Fire Map
Not all of Scott Avenue is represented by the Sanborn Maps of 1906 & 1914! Missing was what is the most
important part of Scott & Toner Avenue - the area in and around the Vandalia Depot - the very "infamous"
area called "One Block West of the Depot" in all the nortious ads of the 1880's. 1890's and early 1900's.
I personally can't imagine why this area with its depot, hotels and restaurants was not detailed in these
maps; the 1924 map is the first accounting of the area besides some on the plat maps of the previous times.
