I will talk to the librarians at UWM to see if they can shed any light on the copyright laws that might affect this booklet. I tried to see if the Wright Co. was still in existence, but couldn't find anything online with a quick search, but I won't give up. From using the book many times, I don't think there was a clear-cut "formula" for the changes. It seems like it must have been a fairly extensive undertaking at the time to change all the numbers, especially when you consider the number of multiple houses on the same properties in Milwaukee. I will let you know what I find out. In the meantime, if anyone does need a house number checked, they can let me know and I will check it in the copy of the Wright's supplement that is over in the UWM library. mrf Dianne Larson Ward wrote: > Mary, that's a really good idea.
