I was looking up old census records for my street and found a house that shouldn't be there
I was digging through the 1940 census online for my block in Portland. The records clearly show a house at 421 Maple that was listed as vacant. But I know for a fact that lot has been a small city park since at least 1935, according to the plaque there. There's never been a house on that spot. I even checked old fire insurance maps and they show the park. Has anyone else found a building that just doesn't match up in old records?
