Cheryl, The address was already 5th Avenue in the 1900 and still 5th Avenue in 1910 census. In 1920 (Ward 30, ED # 1850) was shown as Wells. So if you show the address as Atlantic in 1892 - It would have changed from Atlantic to 5th Avenue between 1892 and 1900 and then changed to Wells between 1910 and 1920. The address number would NOT have changed as 47xx South was not effected by the 1909 number changes. Good Luck in your search... Go SOX ... (and BRAVES...)

Yes, I did hit shift by accident! If an address was 5th Ave in 1900, would it have been Atlantic in 1892? I'm doing a naturalization look-up for someone, and the archives charge $9 for these darn records that don't show much. I don't want to get the wrong record for him. Though the street NUMBERS changed in 1909, the street NAMES changed on several different occasions, but the CHS name change document didn't give dates. Go SOX!!!!

If so, Atlantic became 5th Ave. and later became S. WELLS ST., which is the current street name.
