Title: h and r before numbers in CA directories
Post by: melba_schmelba on Saturday 01 August 20 14:25 BST (UK)

Some addresses in the directories have a number, then the street, others have h or r, preceding those numbers, any idea what h and r signify?

There's usually a list of abbreviations towards the front of each directory but h could = home or r = residence (depending on wether home is owned or not.)

Thanks, agha :), just checked:

h = householder

r = roomer or resides
