Hedgleigh
This house was the original farmhouse for The Hedgleigh Estate, extending from Swarthmore Ave. to Oberlin Ave. and the railroad tracks to Cresson Lane. The house was built c. 1860, and notable owners of the farmstead include the Linville Family and Cresson Family. The farm was subdivided in the early twentieth century, but some of the original dwellings remain in the neighborhood.
