ARTHINGTON WAS FORQUER ST IN 1900 WHEN MY GRANDFATHER IMMIGRATED TO 144 FORQUER ST. NEVER COULD VERIFY THE 144 PART.
you came to the right place. forquer is now where arthington is. there is a small park east of central park that cuts off arthington. it may have been named forquer there.
in 1909 the address numbers were changed north and south but not sure about east/west. 144 would be near state street so 144 would be the near south side just outside the loop.
