The location of last week's photograph is revealed.
Last week, I asked readers to identify the location where a black and white photo of a stately home was taken. Exactly zero people guessed. I hope everyone was just stumped and not bored with this column. The location of the house is 9002 Crefeld St. in Chestnut Hill. The photo was taken in 1952, and the home belonged to a Mrs. Eleanor Widener Dixon. Thanks for playing (or reading in this case), and check back next week for another round of "Then and Now."

The location of last week's Then and Now picture is revealed.

Reader Allan Ash wrote: It has to be the Mower U.S. Army hospital built for civil war solders. There is a marker at the Wyndmoor train station. And John Ball said: Mower General Hospital Willow Grove & Stenton Aves Thanks for playing, and be sure to check back next week for another round of Then and Now.

The location of last week's "Then and Now" photo is revealed.
Last week I asked readers to identify a black and white photo of a Victorian looking structure in Chestnut Hill. Only one reader took a crack of guessing the location. Fortunately, that reader was correct. Reader Monica wrote: Chestnut Hill Academy! (Formerly, the Wissahickon Inn) The photo is in fact of the Wissahickon Inn located at 500 West Willow Grove Ave. Congratulations to Monica, and be sure to check back next week for another round of "Then and Now."
