Whose house?

To the Editor,

I was a little bit surprised, but charmed, to read that Ben Yagoda’s house was still called the “Anderson House” for at least 15 years after they moved in. I am a member of that Anderson family, and loved growing up on Parrish Road in Swarthmore, so much so that my husband and I chose to settle in town and bought the “Jewett House” on Kenyon Avenue. We enjoy that this small, close-knit community associates homes with families that may have left but have not been forgotten.
