Answer: Where Is This Wayne Carriage House?

Thursday, we featured this carriage house in Wayne, which has been converted into a single family home and has had its appearance altered somewhat dramatically for its present use.

We asked readers to identify where it is. The answers we got were Aberdeen Terrace, Newtown Road and Eagle Road. i grew here you moved here, who guessed Eagle Road, is correct.

The building is located at 916 Eagle Road, according to Greg Prichard of the Radnor Historical Society. It had been carriage house for the J.W. Morrison family, whose home stands next door at 425 Chestnut Lane. 916 Eagle Road will be discussed at the June Radnor Township HARB meeting, as the current owners are proposing the "addition of a new family room off the rear elevation with a new master bedroom and bathroom above."

Do you notice the unique wood fence that runs along the road? Check out the other pictures in this article to see other examples, including one built just last year.

It had been a dream for quite some time for the 1889 Wendell and Smith home of Prichard, his brother Scott, his mom Joyce and late father Jeff.

They designed their fence using old photographs and red cedar wood.

When North and South Wayne was developed in the late 1800s by Herman Wendell and Walter Bassett Smith, a lot of trees had to be cleared from the land.

One of the uses for those trees was building fences on the properties. They were made up of segments of carved branches in unique designs. The rustic look matched the natural wood roof shingles of the "country" homes.
