The home was definitely built after 1913, as it isn't present on the 1913 map of Haverford Township. The home is listed as "modern" and for sale in 1922, implying it was somewhat new as of then. Its first known inhabitant, Francis Sadler, is listed as a resident of Llanerch as far back as 1924.
1930 census: Bond salesman Francis is living with his family.
