Unrelated question as I'm not familiar with the neighborhood but saw School House Lane mentioned

Anyone know if there was/still is a big old retirement apartment building that mostly wealthy elderly once lived in on that street?

I had a very wealthy aunt that lived on that street in a huge apartment back in the 1970s and 1980s but I never visited her there unfortunately.

You're probably thinking of Alden Park apartments way down at the other end of School House Lane, off of Wissahickon Ave. If it was a retirement apartment building at one point it no longer is. I went to school at Philadelphia University and knew a few friends that lived there.

Thank you.

I think my mother mentioned Wissahickon actually.
