Photo 45-BLA-35

Comments

This house appears to have been located at the SW corner of Midlothian Rd. and Lakewood Ln. (the triangular piece of land in front of Midlothian Manor), looking NW. Lakewood Ln. is visible across the top of the photo. The topography seems to be sloping upwards and to the left, which is consistent with the current location. Also, there is a tire track trail visible on the upper right of the photo, which connects to Lakewood Ln. By using the telephone pole that is on the north side of the road just above the "N" as a marker, the location of the trail is consistent with following the outside perimeter of 22870 W. Lakewood Ln., and likely leads to the pond just outside of the frame. The lot to the right of the trail was vacant until 1967, which is why there is no house visible there. The telephone pole at the upper right is consistent with today's location and is at the end of the vacant land property line. The driveway for 22804 W. North Lakewood Ln. would be just to the right of it.
