Looking for an old address

I am tracing my Grandparents 6 different homes in Verdun.  I have photos of all of them.  I just can't seem to find one address, 678 Verdun Ave.. 

Did the street numbering ever change?  It is from 1924.

 

Any help appreciated.

  4. They were there in the '20's. Where was your address on Verdun? What was the cross street?

  5. Lovell Directory (1950) describes Verdun Avenue as starting at Gibbons Ave. Check these old maps, it looks like a park and maybe an expressway took out some of Verdun Avenue.
