(Commenter Andrew sent in a link to a much better map [above], than the scan of the handout at the mall I originally used [below], and the numbers are the same, so I'm adding it).<\/p>\n

Well, I finally had a chance to go looking in some old City Directories for information about Dutch Square<\/i>. I was looking at about 5 year intervals, and only had time to get up to 1997 before the library closed, so rather than a \"Dutch Square: Then & Now\" post, this is a \"Dutch Square: Then & Then\" one.<\/p>\n

The 1971 directory is the first one to list Dutch Square<\/i>, but notice that it uses completely different suite numbers than the later listings I have here. And all<\/b> the City Directory listings use different suite numbers than Dutch Square<\/i> itself uses on its current handout map.<\/p>\n

In any event, it's not always possible to do a complete mapping of the old numbers to the current floor-plan as there has been a good bit of remodeling over the years (for example, the Woolco<\/i> space being broken up), and some of the old exterior-only slots like Jackson Camera<\/i> and Baskin Robbins<\/i> don't seem to be pictured on the current map. That said, here is a mapping of some of the City Directory to Map numbers that I'm pretty sure of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
