Delaware County historian Keith Lockhart has a boatload of postcards and photos from yesteryear that are not completely catalogued and confounding him in one way or another regarding the exact locations and directions. Keith could use your help.
Keith tells the Daily Times that this week's photo is supposed to be Main Street in Darby, but he's not 100% sure. Do you know where this is, and the block and viewing direction?
The trolley is running and it was soon after a snowstorm on the well-electrified street.
Keith's email is Here's the consensus for last week's photo from Andrews Avenue in Collingdale:
"The view is looking west on Andrews Ave. from Clifton Ave. towards Collingdale Ave. The homes in the photo are still there and are located on the north side of Andrews Ave. The addresses of the homes on Andrews Ave. going from east to west are 811, 817, and 825/827 (twin home). The home next to the three children is located at 300 Clifton Ave. and you're looking at the brick side of that home." — Jack McKnight
"Clifton Avenue at Andrews." — Tom G.
"The first house on the right in Sundays History Mystery is 811 Andrews Ave., looking south. That block is between Clifton Ave. and Collingdale Ave." —James P. Buttery. Media, PA
"If the tree wasn't there it would be perfect. Also, it's the 800 block. You can also see the big single house all the way down the end on Lafayette if you zoom in on your original. I love these old photos." — Doc
No one had an idea of who the kids were.
