The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 9 -The Wissahickon
Page 88 contains a clipping from a newspaper article dated September 27, 1925; however, the identity of the newspaper cannot be determined. The title of the article is "Wissahickon Drive Expansion Planned". The article continues from page one (which is not included on the scrapbook page) and also includes a map with a depiction of the proposed extension of Wissahickon Drive from Chestnut Hill to Ft. Washington. It should be noted that this proposal to extend Wissahickon Drive never proceeded for unknown reasons. The article as it appears on this scrapbook page focuses on Ft. Washington and Whitemarsh and the history of the area and the prominent individuals associated with the history of the area.Collection
