Tenements Mar Fine Mansions of Millionaires
Ardmore Pa Sept 7 Wealthy Philadelphians on the Main Line near Bryn Mawr and Ardmore face rising commercialism as tenement rows threaten the secluded estates of Browne Mall, Thorncroft and other grand houses. Lawyer Edwin Saunders Dixon leads a resistance campaign to block dense housing near Mill Creek, securing a 27000 dollar pact to raze under construction cottages and pave a winding throughway before dedicating land to Lower Merion Township. The move reflects alarm among residents of Grey Grange Chewold Dolobran and other prime properties over encroaching development.
