A Brief History of South Packard Street
As you turn onto South Packard Street from Bellevue, notice the smaller sized lots. This property was once owned by William Black whose home we just passed. The property was subdivided and sold for building smaller homes. South Packard Street was not opened up until 1923 at which time there was only one house on the right side of the street. By 1930 the Sanborn map show eight homes in this first block.
