1890 Wilmette Directory Search Page

Entries in the 1890 Wilmette Directory Database were transcribed from The Evanston and Wilmette Directory 1890: Comprising a list of the residents and business houses , and general information of Evanston, South Evanston, Rogers Park and Wilmette. Evanston: University Press Company, 1890. The preface reads "For the first time in her quiet existance Wilmette now finds the secrets of her by-ways and hedges published abroad for the delectation of the dear dyspeptic public. We beg pardon for the rude intrusion into her sylvan shades."
Except for page number, searches are "contains" searches. In other words, a search for "kin" in the surname search box will return the entries for both "Kinney" and "Hopkins."
To browse the entire directory, click on "search" without entering anything in search boxes. This is a good way to become familiar with the information that was included in the directory.
You can search on more than one field at a time. For example, you can search for farmers who lived on Wilmette Avenue by typing "farm" in the occupation box and "wilmette" in the home address box.
Search results are alphabetical by surname.
