The following link is to an May 19 article that discusses the then impending demolition of Fredrick J. Kimball's house (Kimball was the second president of the N & W RR and the impetus for its expansion into the Pocahontas Coal Fields).

  Here are eight pictures of F. Kimball's house on the campus of Philadelphia University.  Probably by now, it has been demolished; if we have cooler weather, I'll get photos of what is left, if anything.  By the numbers (1) right front (2) left end (3) rear (4) rear, more distant than #3 (5) right side (6) full front and lots of trees (7) left front w/ outside stairs (8) front entrance and canopy.  A couple of what I have are duplicates; I am sending the better shots.
