This information was taken from the a Freeland business
directory for 1886-1888.
Note that addresses are in the old scheme and don't
match today's address numbering. In the old scheme, looking at
Centre Street as an example, numbers began at the corner of Front and
Centre Streets and went up as you went north, and went up again as you
went
south, so if an address was 24 Centre St., it would say N or S Centre
to
indicate whether it was 24 Centre St. above Front St. or 24 Centre St.
below it.
