I had reveiwed an abstract on North Broadway that indicated Oak Hill as the street that ran west to east between the RR and Indianola.

In 1910, Charles Evans owned significant land holdings to the east of the railroad. According to the abstract, he jointly owned, with Loren and Dennison (the original developers of North Broadway), all of the East North Broadway lots to the east of Indianola. The abstract indicated that Evans requested that the road (ENB) not be improved beyond Indianola. The road was built and Evans refused to pay the assessment. Ultimately, he lost his ownership interest in the lots on the north side of ENB and the lots to the east of his property on the south side.

I think Evans owned the house that was at 625 East North Broadway. Newspaper articles from 1890 state that he had recently built a home on East North Broadway and this location would make sense based on his other land holdings.

The Carriage House of the 625 ENB home still stands at 4 Broadway Lane. It could have been easily accessed from Oak Hill prior to the building of East North Broadway.

Evans was a railroad freight agent. He becomes one of the Hocking Hills Coal developers. In the early days, North Broadway and the area south to Lane is called Evanston. I think that is a reference to Charles.

I thought I saw a reference to Calumet being called “School Children’s Lane”. Have you seen anything with that reference.
