Unclear where this was. J. Appleton Wilson's list of Executed Projects says: "Doorway for No. 15 W. Biddle Street Wm. B. Wilson." According to the 1887 Index of Street Addresses, there was no 15 W. Biddle Street before the new street numbering system of 1887. It is likely, but not definite, that Wilson, late in his life, used the post-1887 street address for a building whose address he had neglected to list -- and quite likely that he would have forgotten to list it, as a doorway would have been a very minor project, and Wm. B. Wilson must have been at least a cousin.
