City Directories
The Topeka Room has an extensive collection of Topeka city directories dating from 1870 to the present. These directories can be helpful in establishing the year a house was built, as well as the names and occupations of previous residents.
After 1924, homes are indexed by address as well as last name. Prior to 1924, the surname of the resident must be known in order to access address and occupation information.

The city directories are very helpful for many projects. They’re also fun for trips down memory lane. See how much you remember about the restaurants, stores and neighborhoods you grew up with!
