SuggestionsDon’t write a history of each building. Characterize the changes
on the block, then use an example from your research as evidence.
Be certain to look at all the fire maps, so you see the changes that may explain features on the block that don’t make sense otherwise.
What is driving the changes? Talk about how the town changes, but only from the perspective of this block.How did the automobile impact life? For example.
Edit your work.
