History

It's unclear how old this house actually is. The home is present in the 1950 census, but the house does not look like a pre-1950 construction. Perhaps there was an older home that exists on the land prior? It was not present on the 1929 map of Haverford Township.

1950 census: Irish Widower Katharine (of Edward J. Sheedy) is living with her family.

The home was purchased by the Barnhart family in 1979?, and then sold to the Edda Construction corp, who presumably tore down thehouse and sold it in 1986 for $119,900.
