Message text written by Susanne Brown: >I am particularly interested in the years closest to 1909 in the Sellwood area. The family I am researching lived at 621 (SE) Tenino Street. I understand that presently there is no house with that number but there is a house numbered 623 on that block. Could the houses have been renumbered? Has house 621 been torn down? Perhaps the city directories could shed some light on this.< Susanne - Yes, this house would have been renumbered, as Dave said. At the 1930 city directory (when there was a street listing), 621 was near the intersection of Tenino and 16th (the second house from the corner). I haven't yet checked under the new numbering, but knowing the area, it's still residential, so there's a chance the house is still there. I learned to ride a two-wheeler on that very same sidewalk, when I visited friends who lived in the city, where there were sidewalks! It's not as near the bridge as would the current 621 address be, but rather about 10 blocks in from the river.
