Sweetie at Love Lane
(Norwood, PA)
This is the online photo album of Sweetie in Norwood, Pennsylvania, a town in Delaware County. Sweetie and Lew rent this home in a newer neighborhood and move in June 1946.
Lewis at the Front Door
This is Lewis, Sweetie's son, in late March or early April 1947 at the front door of their home at 37 South Love Lane in Norwood, Pennsylvania.
Lewis is wearing his snowsuit that his Aunt Jeanne bought him - in this picture, he is about 18 months old.

Lewis in the Neighborhood
In this picture, Lewis is walking on the sidewalk in front of his home. The house behind him is Dot's house (his neighbor).
The remnants of snow can be seen on the ground (Lewis is still wearing his snowsuit at the time of this picture), and so we know that this is a picture that was referenced in Sweetie's letter on April 5, 1947.
