The 1930 directory shows Charles Dewell at 815 Lake Street — within McClaran's Addition — so perhaps that's what the Gazette meant.
I don't have a clue where the "Findling flat on Lake street, formerly the Nitchman house," was. As far as the Gazette is concerned, it sounds as if poor Billy Krull has been handing out house numbers in vain.
