Well this may be it!

Convenient to Center City & the Main-line, local Regional Rail Line (Center City/Paoli/Thorndale) (just a block away), trolley stops & major routes 1, 3, 30 & 76. Coming investment in this historic neighborhood includes a new midrise apartment building, The Elm, planned for 2079 North 63rd Street. It will include 4 Retail spaces on 63rd Street. In 1893, Drexel & Co. purchased the 168-acre John M. George farm & hired Herman Wendell & Walter Bassett Smith to develop a prestigious planned community known as "Overbrook Farms". The best architects of the day (i.e. Horace Trumbauer, William & Walter Price, Charles Barton Keen, Chester Kirk, Westray Ladd et al.) built a variety of styles such as Colonial, Gothic & French Revivals, Arts and Crafts & Queen Anne. It was the first stop on the prestigious Main Line (R5) and it remains a prime example of turn-of-the century railroad suburbs being entered on the National Register of Historic Places in March of 1985. Its charm & beauty endure to this day & make it one of Philadelphia s best places to live!
