History
The home was not present on the 1897 Atlas of Haverford, but is present on maps by 1908. However, it's likely the home was built by the year 1900, as a report from 107 Tenby Road in 1991 stated that a "19th-century stable" behind the residence was destroyed in a fire, meaning that some structure would have had to have been here by that point. The Husbands lived at the home for the 1910 census, and are maybe related to the Husbands of 110 Llandaff Road.
