UNSETTLED · THE SETTLER IS THE PARCEL RECORD
The question: the Jeremiah Service House stands in the federal record at 302 East Michigan Street (the National Register listing, ref. 00000216, and the town's reference record agree). A real-estate listing for the house gives 304 East Michigan Street — which is also the address carried by the inn that traded under the house's other name, the Inn at the Old Republic. A two-number spread in a street address is the smallest conflict in this section and the most instructive: directory and listing records copy each other until an error is load-bearing, and a house with two names (Service House; Old Republic) collects addresses the way it collects names. The settler: the county parcel record for the lot, read in the county's GIS or behind it in the recorder's books — one lookup, named here so it gets made.
