Maybe not though, as this notice clears makes reference to the lot marked above: The designation of the block between Manchester, Nash, East and Robeson as “Little Richmond” is puzzling, as that neighborhood is described as having been near the railroad tracks and the Richmond Maury stemmery. Fifth Street was once renamed to continue Carroll, but now, running behind the Freeman Round House Museum, is Bill Myers Avenue. Second is the doglegged continuation of Vick Street, as Third is of Reid. Of the numbered streets, only Fourth remains. East is largely the same, thought lost its tip at what is now Hines Street.

This plat map for Carver Place, bristling with more than 200 tiny 25-foot-wide lots, was registered in 1948. Nonetheless, its limited database is yielding up treasure after treasure. Wilson County Register of Deeds’ office has digitized relatively few of its real estate records.
