History
The home was first shown extant in the 1929 map of Haverford. It is listed as vacant in the 1930 census, and by 1939, the Appleton family resided there.

The home was put up in sale in 1936 for $13,500, and the advertisement featured a photograph of the house pictured below. Evidently, the home didn't sell because the Collins still reside there in 1940.
