 According to PAST HORIZONS, the Foster-Cummings (circa 1827) @ 1600 Dearing Place "originally was a three-story and faced west, straight steps leading to the second floor. In the 1930's the two top stories were moved south to the present location, making it a two-story house with two sets of steps leading from ground to the first floor veranda." You can see the Foster-Cummings house near the upper left margin in the 1887 map. Notice it is north of its present location and faces west. You can also see the steps leading up to the second story.  The Dearing-Swaim House (circa 1835) @ 2111 14th Street is beige-tinted just below the title EAST MARGIN. The Glasscock House (circa 1844) @ 1109 21st Street is in the lower right corner of the map and the church labeled "H" is Hunter's Chapel AME Zion Church (1881) @ 1107 22nd Avenue.
