History

The home is at least as old as the 1929 map of Haverford, which shows it as extant. It's the only one on the "100" block of Llandillo, and is unique as the only Tudor home with green plating instead of the typical brown or other variants like red. Secluded on a hill, this home is cozy and tucked away in shrubbery.

1930 census: Truck manufacturer Clement is living with his family and Irish maid.
