The 1923-1924 City Directory for Houston, Texas, contains the following street description: "Acuff (Sixth) -- from Washington to Keesler -- See Sixth." The applicable description for Sixth says "(1st Ward) -- from Buffalo Bayou 1 bl[oc]k s[outh] of 601 Washington n[orth] 4 bl[oc]ks." It appears there was a railroad nearby. Intersecting streets were Railroad, Girard, and Keesler.

The description for the First Ward of Houston was given as "Bounded by Main, White Oak bayou, Congress av and line commencing at termination of Congress av and Buffalo bayou, and running n[orth] 55 deg[rees] n[orth] to n[orth]w[est] city limits."

Where was this street? Why was it called "Acuff"? When/why did it change?
