[Cz-L] Address help

I was looking at the 1898 city directory. Line 5318 is my great
grandfather, Nuchim Kremnitz. It shows him living at number 344 in KA, but
no street
name.
Line 8495 is Srul Moses Ruff, my great great grandfather. I believe his
first name was Israel, but I'm guessing Srul is Israel. Anyway, they also
show him at number 344, but no street name, also in KA. Would you guess
that
the transcribers couldn't read the name of the street, and that the
correct
address for both is 344 Synagogengasse? I know this is just a guess.
One other question, if I may be so bold: what does the E/G/W column mean?
East and west?

Reply from Bruce Reisch:
Regarding the abbreviations used – KA stands for the district of
Kaliczanka. From the first page of the 1898 directory, here is the Key:

"E = Hauseigentümer G = Geschäftslokal W = Wohnung CZ = Innenstadt HO =
Horecza RO = Rosch KA = Kaliczanka KL = Klokuczka MA = Manasteriska
E = Homeowners G = Business office W = Domicile CZ = Inner city HO =
Horecza RO = Rosch KA = Kaliczanka KL = Klokuczka MA = Manasteriska"

E is listed as Homeowners – so I take this to mean that the address is for
someone owning their own home. Domicile/Wohnung – where the family lived,
likely an apartment?

So, when you get to the district of Kaliczanka – why is there no street
name? Well in many many places, streets were named later, but houses were
always numbered. And the house numbers changed in different periods if
they
went through and re-numbered houses for some reason. "Cadastral" maps show
 
property locations and house numbers. The archives probably have Cadastral
maps from 1898. Someone would need to go there and look up these maps and
find the exact location for house 344 in Kaliczanka. Then perhaps you'd be
able to find it on a current map, perhaps Yandex (?), to have a look.

This is really a good question for the list. I might be wrong about the
house number thing, but I've seen exclusive use of house numbers for
my
Radauti family in the 1800s, but in the 1900s, addresses in the records
show streets and house numbers.

Good luck!

Also from Bruce Wexler:

My mother told me her parents lived on Main St., which I took to mean
Hauptstrasse, which comes off of the Ring Platz. Just now looking at the
map, at
area N13 I see KA-Hauptstrasse. So now I'm wondering if that's the Main
St. she was talking about, especially if my great grandfather lived
nearby.
I'm assuming in those days families would try to live as close to each
other
as possible. Could of course, be a wrong assumption.
If you have a chance, I'd appreciate your comments.
