In a large portion of the town, the houses were not numbered. Thus, these were given the most definite location possible. Where the house occupied a corner position on any two streets, the location was given as "(XX person) may live on the (northeast, northwest, southeast, or southwest) corner of (any two) streets." When the house was not on the corner, the street it fronted was given, along with the streets that bounded the block on either side, such as "(XX person) lives on Washington, between High and Walnut."
