Eleventh Avenue South
From Yesler Way to Charles Street
This street does not exist today in this area. The northern blocks, from Yesler to Main, are part of Yesler Terrace, with addresses on those streets; south of there, I don't think there was an 11th Ave. S. here even in 1960 -- if there ever was.
