Do these bungalows look familiar? These unidentified photographs were taken circa 1950. From the notes scribbled on the back of the photographs, we believe that both were built by M. & R.B. Warren in 1922. Can you give the present street address?  Our fear is that they were located on Leland Street and razed making it almost impossible to find their addresses.

The bungalow below is by the same builder, but the way it sits on the property it almost looks like the driveway leads to an alley.  Alleys are far more common in Chevy Chase, DC than on the Maryland side of the border.  Look familiar?

Does this side yard and adjacent properties look familiar?  We are looking for the place, and if possible, the names of the children in the photograph.   mystery4.jpg
