I've been working on a project of my own that got me into sifting through old Sanborn maps looking for old buildings. I looked through some of the old maps for Gainesville checking on the McCormick house. It looks like the house was around for quite some time. I couldn't find anything on the 1884 map but I found it on 1887, 1892, 1909, 1913, and 1922. It's neat to see how it "grew" over the years.

Also note: On the 1892 map the address was listed as 403... on 1909 and 1913 it's listed as 500... and by 1922 it's listed as 508 (formerly 500). This helps narrow down the time-frame of the stamp.
