In business addresses, MEB is Mining Exchange Building. CB is Cardin Building (the Security Bank Building of the 50’s). NOTE: on address searches, I have standardized on abbreviated directions. E.g., look for S Main instead of South Main. Addresses are listed like this: 826 NW K. Make sure you put the direction before the street.
