DESCRIPTION |
|
|
Possibly part of C. W. Baker's 3rd Ivanhoe Subdivision. It is not known if buildings were ever on this street, but indications are that there was no development. The street was shown on at least two maps from the 1950s. Today, the street is the entrance to Lower and Middle Millcrest Parks. The parts of Courtland and Weyer Avenues, west of the railroad tracks, which may have connected with Dudley Avenue, do not exist today. Williams' Directories from 1942, 1954 and 1964 described the location of Dudley as follows (note that the street is "not open"):
"Dudley - from 1700 Hopkins av. north to Courtland av (not open) Weyer av begins (not open) Courtland av begins" |

UNKNOWN The 1919 Directory did not list any properties on the street. The 1942 Williams' Directory gives a name and address, but this is probably false.
