Photograph a [top left] is of a house on Coulter Street west of Germantown Avenue, once the home of William Kite, librarian of the Friend's Library, who died in 1901. Two children stand behind the fence on the left of the photograph. A note says the house and its neighbor were demolished for the construction of the Square Club. Image b [top right] is a photographic print of a drawing of the Kurtz-Barr House on Germantown Avenue, which was demolished for the opening of West Chelten Avenue. Photograph c [bottom left] is of an "Indian Head" set in the wall at 5506 Germantown Avenue. The head was later acquired by the Germantown Historical Society. Photograph d [bottom right] is of 29 Harvey Street where Frederick C. Brightly lived in the nineteenth century.
