Here's "Green Curve" as it was in the developmental stage 92 years ago. Nary a house to be seen except way way back on the left of Pennington Road. Perhaps an old timer can tell us if that house is still there. "Green Curve" is.This email from "Omad."
Tom, if this picture is facing north, I am quite sure that is the house I lived in for most of my teenage years after we moved from So. Olden Ave. The address was 2149 Pennington Rd, north of what was State Teachers College. By the time we lived there, the front porch was enclosed. Of course, this could have been one just like ours but I do not remember any that looked so much the same from the side. Yes, that house is still standing and it has been very nicely kept up and repainted on the outside. We owned quite a bit of land behind it that was eventually developed into very large homes in the 60s and 70s. Hope this helps. The house was at the end of the Pennington Rd bus route in those days and the bus turned around just a bit north of it. When I travel to New Hope and that area, I always make sure to go by and check on it. Loved it.
