I think it is the 1933 (perhaps 1934) Portland City
Directory
which shows the old and new address in one part of that
volume.
If there was not change, then only one address shows.

But it is easier to go to the OHS library on SW Park or to
the
downtown branch of the Multnomah County Library on SW 10th
to look at the separate list of those address changes.

I wish we had a copy of that address change book at the GFO.
