Appendix

This appendix has been compiled to help the reader identify the houses mentioned
in the text, and to obtain additional information about the houses. The identifying numbers
(a number and an X) refer to similar numbers given in the text. The houses are
listed by street or area (some have drives or walkways to one street, but a house number
on another).

Code: Given in order: identifying number, street number and name, 1973 owners
of the house, past owners (and well known tenants, only) in chronological order, as far
as this information was available. In case of conflicting information, the house owner’s
version was used in most cases. Occupations and relationships, if known, and not already
cited in the text, will be added in parenthesis. The majority of the women, including
those with listed occupations, are home-makers and many are mothers. CU means Cornell, IC Ithaca College.
