1914 : Annabelle Avenue
PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY OF TOM DINGES
Pictured are homes along unpaved Annabelle Avenue in 1914 . Edward Reeger developed 27 acres at South Broad and Lalor Streets and named Annabelle Avenue for his daughter.
Edward Reeger was my great-uncle and my grandfather Walter Lee Irons (married to Edward's sister Annie) worked for Edward and built his own home at 47 Annabelle Ave. My mother and her siblings grew up in that home. Still have fond memories as the house was owned by my aunt and she sold it in the mid-60's.

I live at 13 Annabelle Avenue. We bought it from the original owners grandson in 2001. It was not built until 1936, but I would love to see any early photos of the house.
