Delaware County historian Keith Lockhart is years into a project to document precise location sof photos, postcards and drawings of yesteryear in the county.

The photos and postcards he has never seem to pinpoint a precise location and this one is no exception, and he relies on readers’ memories and knowledge to help with this project.

Keith says this photo was taken in East Lansdowne and only reads “Penn Boulevard,” and what a beautiful wide boulevard it was. But just where was this photo taken, and which direction are we looking?

Here are the few responses for last week’s challenging photo of Aberdeen and Midland avenues in Radnor Township:

• “The houses are the backs of what was 227 & 231 Windermere Ave., along with an outbuilding to 285 Windermere, as seen from the southwest corner of Midland and S. Aberdeen Ave. The turret to 230 Windermere can be seen to the left of the outbuilding. The outbuilding and 231 were removed for the St. Katharine of Siena school, built in 1958. 227 was almost completely rebuilt in 2007 to look different from what it was originally (hipped roof four square with wraparound porch and dormers) and 217 was added in between 227 and 215 in 2006. This was hard because the turret is the only recognizable thing that still remains from that photo, but the photo matches the 1909 Sanborn map of Wayne. The 1908 Main Line Atlas doesn’t show as much detail of the houses but does have the property owners.” — Kate Clifford

• “The view looks SW from the vicinity of S. Aberdeen Avenue and Midland Avenue toward the 200 block of Windermere Avenue in Wayne, Radnor Township. The addresses of the two homes prominently featured in the photograph are 231 Windermere, on the left, and 227 Windermere, on the right. The home at 231 Windermere no longer exists; St. Katharine of Siena School now occupies the site where it once stood. The home at 227 Windermere is still standing but has undergone major renovations and no longer resembles its appearance in the early 1900s.” — Dennis & Jack McKnight
