History
The home was built sometime before 1910, but is cut off on the 1908 map of Haverford, so I can't see if it was extant by then. The Barker family lived in the home at its first registered census.
1910 census: Marylander William is living with his family.

Mary died in 1929 as a resident of the home. The home is missing from the 1930 census, but the Gormans lived there at least at the time of the death of Martha Gorman.
