Ave.," in the bottom left corner.

Notes |
Baltimore Avenue's most interesting home seems destined to pass from existence soon before the inroads of the operative builders.
This fine example of colonial architecture occupies the centre of the block between Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth Streets northwest
from Baltimore Avenue. Old-time gardens grace the frontage of the house, shaded by the century-old trees. The rear portion
of the house used as a kitchen was orignially the home of a Swedish settler and is counted as one of the first five habitations
built west of the Schuylkill River.
