History
This home does not appear in the 1913 atlas of Haverford Township, but is listed as existing at least by 1924, when it was sold to the Ganungs by G.B. Turner for $17,000 under the address "87 Park Road". It does not appear in the 1920 census.

In 1955, Edward, Sr. died. At the time, he was the husband of Dorothy (née Fogarty). The home was sold ot the Ryan family in 1959. During their occupancy, in 1971, their son, Christopher, was injured in a serious car accident where he was hit by one car and run over by another. As far as I can tell, he survived and grew up to be a healthy adult.
