History
Zillow states that the home was built 1927, and the home is present on the 1929 map of Haverford Township, howver it's absent from the 1930 census.
1940 census: Schoolteacher Albert is living with his wife. The home is listed as 207 East Park
| Name | Age | Relation to Head of Household |
|---|---|---|
| Albert May | 61 | Head |
| Lura May | 58 | Wife |
The Mays lived in the home at least as late as 1942, as listed on Albert's WWII draft registration card.
1950 census: Schoolteacher Margaret is living with her mother and roommate Florence.
| Name | Age | Relation to Head of Household |
|---|---|---|
| Margaret C. Jones | 50 | Head |

Virginia died in 1958, the latest proof I could find of the Jones residence in the home.
