R. L. POLK & CO.'S Indianapolis City Directory 1912

THE Street Directory is an alphabetical arrangement of the names of the Streets and Avenues of the city. By the decimal system of numbering houses adopted in this city, one hundred numbers are allotted to each square. On streets running north and south the numbering be- gins at Washington street. The streets running east and west are numbered East and West from Meridian street. All other streets not commencing at either of the above points are numbered in accordance with this system. The names and numbers of intersecting streets and avenues are given in the order in which they occur, which enables one to tell between what streets a certain number is. For instance, you have 820 Harlan street : by reference to the Street Directory, you find 800 at Lexington av. and 900 at Pleasant street; consequently, the place you wish to find is between Lex- ington av. and Pleasant street.
