Ottawa City Directory

There's been something bothering me for a long time: the history of the house my Grandparents lived in since 1963. They don't live there anymore and a new family lives there now. But I get this feeling that the house itself has many secrets. A family used to live there before my Grandparents lived there and a family probably lived there before that family and so on. I experienced a few things there that I cannot explain and I've always wanted to know the truth behind that.

Anyways, before phone books there were city directories. Here's one of those from 1923. I don't know when the house was built. I heard that before the neighborhood was built, there used to be a huge estate there. So here goes a little digging and good old fashioned research!
