Summary

Three entries on the Murphy pages of the 1927 directory: - p. 1470: **Murphy Jas J, dept mgr Bullock's, h453 W 60th.** - p. 1470: **Murphy Eileen, cashr Bullock's, r453 W 60th.** - p. 1469: **Murphy Agnes, cashr Bullock's, r453 W 60th.** Father and both elder daughters worked at Bullock's. The 1926 edition prints 433 W 60th for him and for Agnes T.; this edition prints 453 for all three. Kelts' 1927 street directory already lists "4339 Murphy J J" on Victoria Avenue, and the 1928 city directory has him there.

Open questions

• 433 (1926 edition) or 453 (1927 edition) W 60th? Each edition prints the same number for father and daughters, so the family either moved within the block or one edition misprinted the household's number.
