2122 S. Harrison - the old Toney Chisum Home - Built in 1925

When I was researching the Amarillo automobile dealer Toney Chisum, who lived in Amarillo from 1916 until his death in 1944, I wanted to know not only where his business was located, but also where his home was located. I found out that he lived at 2022 S. Harrison Street in 1926, but I could not find that address on Google Maps, so I then checked the old Sanborn Insurance maps for the year 1921 and found that houses south of 21st & Harrison were unexplainably numbered 20** instead of 21**. In more recent times, however, the city of Amarillo has apparently changed the addresses for that area causing 2022 S. Harrison to become 2122 S. Harrison. I have been told by a relative of a previous owner of the house that Toney Chisum was, indeed, once the owner of the house, which was built in 1925.
