Monthly Trivia Question (Answer)….


This month we asked a question that was less about knowing trivia and more about being able to find and use resources.  To wit, the question asked who was living at 6151 Piedmont in 1956. The answer is Douglas D. Smith.

We found the answer by using the library’s digitized collection of City and Street Directories and doing a simple search on the requested address.  The libraries collection of City and Street spans from 1875-1987 and can be searched by name or address. Part of the Library's "Visual Collections," the directories have been digitized and can be viewed online. Find the link on the library’s Research & Homework page under “C”
