1910 Winona Street Layout

The following description of the street layout of the city of Winona should help you locate a house number on Winona streets and avenues. This description was obtained from the 1910 Winona City Directory, Winona Directory Co, publisher.

Strangers are almost invariably at a loss to ascertain the correct location of the compass points when in Winona. They cannot conceive that the Mississippi river runs from west to east along the north boundary of city limits, which it does with a slight variation. The streets running parallel with the Mississippi river are divided by Center street east and west and are represented in this Directory by the letters E and W before the name of the street, which will represent east and west from Center.

The odd numbers are all on the right hand side of the street to persons going east and south, while the even numbers are on the left.

The streets running parallel with the river are named in order as follows, Center street being the dividing street between east and west. The numbers here printed between the names of the streets are the numbers used on houses on Center street and on streets parallel with Center street.
