Rockford directory, 1880

Who lived and worked in Rockford in 1880, as the directory printed it. Machine-read from the public-domain scan at the Internet Archive; 70% of its words measure as correctly read.

The listing

1,493 names and addresses

Published exactly as the recogniser returned it. Spellings are the scan's own (Claude.md 32.6 - never corrected), so a name may carry a wrong glyph. The original volume is one click away.
