An earlier version of Patrick Calhoun’s Euclid Heights Allotment whereby the streets of Edwards, Parker, Franklin and Cliff from the previous allotments of “J. J. Low” and “Stackpole and Parker” were worked in. A later redesigning of the Euclid Heights Allotment streets (to what we see today) retained only Edwards Street.
