| 200 N. F | OD year built is wrong according to newspaper account. | 12 | Oxnard Press-Courier 1/19/1938 |

| 223 S. G | The original historic district documents are incorrect since documentation shows AW Porter built the house in 1913/1914. William Snively then purchase the house in December 1917 that had been rented by Mr & Mrs H.C. Downes (who subsequently built a house at 360 S G. It was clearly not built, though in 1928. The earliest documentation I could find was from 1913. | 31 | See articles attached on the house page. |
| 361 S. F | This house was not built for Charles Peverly, he bought it from the Frances Bell estate in 1926, about 8 years after it was built. | 12 | Oxnard Daily Courier, June 25, 1926 |
| 128 N. F | OD says this house was built in 1912. There is a newspaper article with Carlos Levy saying it was built in 1918. But then, a telephone directory lists Frank H. Walker and his wife living there in 1916. | 9 | Ventura County Phone Directory for 1916. |
| 360 S. F | Original documents say this was built in 1930, but a newspaper article says he started building shortly after May 1926. | 20 | Oxnard Daily-Courier 5/04/1926 |
| 126 S. F | OD states the house was built in 1928 but an article shows that it was built and ready in 1927. | 12 | Oxnard Daily-Courier 4/08/1927 |

| 102 S. F | The original historic district documents did not name this house. As I was able to find documentation of the first owner of the house. At that time the house number was 102, but all sources point to 100 now. | 12 | Ancestry.com telephone directory for 1912 |
| 137 S. F | OD state this house was built in 1920. A newspaper article shows that the original owners did not move in until November of 1922. | 14 | Oxnard Daily-Courier 11/04/1922 |
| 145 S. F | OD have to be wrong with the year 1920. According to my research, Jack Miller was living on G Street in 1921 (see below). He then moved to this address in 1928, per the news article from October 1928. 1928 is the first year this address showed up in any of my research. | 14 | Oxnard Press-Courier 10/22/1928 |
| 319 S. G | OD calls this a “prairie home” but a newspaper article from 1914 detailing the house calls it an “Italian Villa.” OD also doesn’t mention that Austin was the manager of the Oxnard Opera House. | 32 | Oxnard Press-Courier 1/20/1914 |
| 341 S. G | OD say this was built for James Marsis in 1924, but news articles show it belonged to Ed Molen as early as 1920 and he sold it to Marsis in 1924. | 32 | Multiple press courier articles on the house page. |
| 436 S. G | OD says built in 1928, but newspaper article from 1926 says the couple would move into the house that year. | 36 | See article on the house profile page. |
| 134 N. G | OD states 1940 with no name on the house. An article shows a building permit in 1938 to A.E. Schuster. | 25 | See article on the house profile page. |
| 142 S. G | OD states 1924 while an article exists showing the family living there in 1922. | 26 | See article on the house profile page. |
| 200 S. G | OD calls this the Samuel Gumpertz House but I could not find any Samuels listed in the area at the time. I did find evidence of a William Gumpertz. | 22 | See articles attached on the house profile page. |
| 329 S. G | OD says it was built in 1918 for Henry Meyer, but articles show that Tom Donlon built it in 1913 and lived in it before selling it to Henry Meyer. | 32 | See articles attached on the house profile page. |
| 328 S. G | OD say this was built for Conrad Meyer in 1918, but research shows it was built for Charles Green who lived there in 1918. | 33 | See articles attached on the house profile page. |
| 138 N. F | OD lists this as an unknown house in 1915, but articles show Charles Spurgin living there in 1918, with no records appearing before that year. | 10 | See articles attached on the house profile page. |
| 110 S. F | OD lists no original owner but it appears it was Theodore Barron | 12 | See articles attached on the house profile page. |
| 127 S. G | OD states that there is a 2 story residence in the back, but that is incorrect. There is a 1 story guest house and the main house has a bedroom addition on the second floor. | 27 | I know this family and they supplied the information to me. |
| 135 N. F | OD states the house was built in 1914 but a newspaper article shows that permits weren’t even issued until 1916. | 10 | See articles attached on the house profile page. |
| 234 S. F | Original historic district documents state that this house was “built for” Morris D. McKenna (#sic). While he may have lived there early on, another news article from 1934 says that Dr. R.W. Avery sold the residence to McKenna that year. But then a 1912 article states that R. W. Avery purchased the hosue from W. Bolster, and it was at that time occupied by Milton Stiles. So, I’m renaming it the W. Bolster House until further evidence shows differently. | 16 | See articles attached on the house profile page. |
| 249 S. F | OD show a year of 1920, but news articles show the house being occupied as of 1919. | 17 | See articles attached on the house profile page. |
| 252 S. F | OD shows original occupancy year as 1926 but news articles show that it was occupied as of 1923. | 16 | See articles attached on the house profile page. |

| 451 S. F | OD states this was built in 1916 but old newspaper articles were found showing it was actually 1914. | 22 | See articles attached on the house profile page. |
| 444 S. F | OD states the name as Wucherpfenning when it’s actually Wucherpfennig. | 23 | Obituary shows correct name. |
