    If you look down Clarendon a couple of doors you can see a 3 story flat roofed house with bayed windows on the first two floors that was supposedly owned at one time by a member of the Fields family. Its now divided into really beautiful condo's. I always thought what a beautiful place.

    Thanks for the extra information, Al! This is one of my favorite Childs postcards of the era.

    Hi Joanne
    It's nice to see in this day and age that all the buildings are all still intact from Irving pk rd. north to Junior terrace. At least on the west side of Clarendon.
