Notes
Printed on the front under the picture: “Old homesteads and shade trees make way for ‘progress.’ The / home of Mrs. A. C. Carlton, Lancaster pike and Radnor-Chester / road, St. Davids, has been torn down to widen the pike at this / point. Six lanes will extend fro the Altman-Sears stores to the / Blue Route Interchange. -- (photo by McNamara).” Handwritten on the rear: “Folder -- / Streets -- / Lancaster Ave. / T. Davids.”
