Wow; I remember as a kid living in Jasper Florida (Hamilton County) with my Grandmother and she and a friend went fishing and they decided to go see the new I-75.  It was a buzz word and the thing to talk about when it was being built and when it first opened; I'm talking around 1961/62; and, there were very few signs on the expressway back then if any. The interstates were the raves and the mode things to talk about when they were being constructed and when they were completed.

I did a bit of digging in old directories this morning, as this was bugging me enough - plus I love a good mental challenge.
I had to go through a few listings with houses that were located on corners, and drew some good conclusions
We were both wrong, or at least were in regards to 1894-1901.

Forest is Forrest, still the same as it ever was. Forrest is listed in many addresses as the cross road for other streets that are exactly where they are.

Date became Margaret Street, and Barnaby became Oak .

You did the research so I take you at your word but Margaret is at a whole different place on the map.  The 1920 map must be grossly mislabeled as the street labeled Date is at a kink in Riverside Ave. that correlates with Forest, not Margaret.
Hey!  Whatever happened to just plain ol' COMMON SENSE!!
