At the same time the streets in Oak Crest were being created from large parcels and subdivided into smaller lots, some of the other (smaller) parcels were being subdivided into smaller lots as well. Lot 22 along Oak Crest Dr (now Polo Rd) was one of the first original parcels to be subdivided into smaller lots.
Lot 22 was originally slightly over 2 acres and was first purchased from the Fries brothers on 11/30/1923 by J H Mills. Then Snyder – Knott & Co (a developer, I think) purchased the parcel on 12/27/1927. Then in February 1928 the parcel was split into 3 nice size lots (lots 22A, 22B, and 22C) by Hinshaw & Marshall, C. E. (Civil Engineers). Each lot was approximately 100 feet across the front and 287 feet deep.
Then lot 22B was resubdivided into lots 104 and 105 sometime between 1932 and 1939. Lot 104 was only 15 feet across the front and lot 105 was 85 feet across the front. Eventually lots 22A and 104 became what is now 1307 Polo and lots 105 and 22C became what is now 1231 Polo – Campus Gas (formerly Paul Hauser’s country store).
This plat shows the subdivision of parcel 22, Oak Crest Dr (now Polo Rd) into lots 22A, 22B (now 104 & 105), and 22C. Lot 22A and 104 are now 1307 Polo and lots 105 and 22C are where Paul Hauser’s country store used to be located at 1231 Polo (currently Campus Gas).
