Historic Photographs, Maps & Documents

Old photographs, maps, newspaper articles, city directories, and public records can help us understand Kendall-Whittier's past.

This discussion is a place to identify historical materials, share research leads, and help others find records about our neighborhood.

Let's Discuss

• Do you have old photographs of Kendall-Whittier?

• Can you help identify buildings, streets, businesses, or people in historical photographs?

• Where can residents find old neighborhood maps?

• What newspaper stories help explain neighborhood history?

• What can city directories, property records, and aerial photographs tell us?

• Are there historical records or collections that need to be preserved?

• What historical questions should we investigate next?

Share links to historical collections, articles, and other resources when possible. Please identify sources and approximate dates when you know them.

This is an independent neighborhood discussion. Help us distinguish documented history from memories, rumors, and unanswered questions.
