Neighborhood
Pictures & Information
This page provides
a link to a vast variety of information about and pictures of the properties
in the West Central Historic District (and some on the Historic West 8th
Street District). If you happen to have any historic Anderson pictures
please send us an e-mail.
See credits at the bottom of this page; without our great neighbors and several special books, many of these pictures might never have been seen again.

Not Yet Available! We
are working to document the resident history of each property in
the West Central District through the use of past city directories.
We hope to have this available as an online resource to those researching
the history of their home. Current owners of individual houses
will not be available online out of respect for their privacy.
