    Believe this address is what is now (as of Jan 2000) known as South9th Street which is right downtown. There appears to be no "9thStreet" (without directional designation) and none of the other "3039th Streets", including "9th Street SE" and "9th Street NE", have a"4th Ave" immediately nearby. Note that this part of the 1900 Censusintersperses people on 4th Avenue with those on 9th Street. - mc^2
