Some proposals or interest in sites that may have been suspended after Private, charter, home, and cyber school growth The following study employs the use of a Cohort Progression Model to account for the above factors and form projections for each grade level over the next ten years. No model is perfect when it comes to predicting the future, but given the right data, an accurate projection for the next five years is expected. Projections should not be considered a final product with the completion of the model. Additional data and analysis, including housing and population forecasts, characteristics of households by housing types, geographic mobility by age cohorts, and housing sales activity, are also presented in this study to provide a useful context with the projections. These important data points should be reviewed every year to determine if unanticipated activity is occurring and how that might influence the projections and actual enrollments down the line. 1 ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS FIGURE 1: District School Locations and Boundary Areas Jenkintown Abington COTTMAN AVE MT CARMEL AVE TOWNSHIP LINE RD RICES MILL RD GLENSIDE AVE CENTRAL AVE CENTRAL LIMEKILN PIKE Elkins Park CEDAR RD CEDAR n School n RD EASTON Cheltenham ASHMEAD RD Glenside n ASHBOURNE RD Wyncote Cheltenham CHURCH RD ES ES n ES NEW SECOND ST GREENWOODAVE 309 Cheltenham Myers FRONT ST FRONT Springfield ¤£ n HS n ES LIMEKILN PIKE WASHINGTON LN WASHINGTON Cedarbrook OGONTZn AVE MS CHELTENHAM AVE TOOKANY CREEK PKWY Philadelphia Cheltenham ES Myers ES Wyncote ES Glenside ES 0 0.25 0.5 1 Miles ´ 2 CHELTENHAM SCHOOL DISTRICT public school students are resulting from this The middle school and high school levels are Summary of Key Findings turnover and an increase in sales will likely going to experience variable growth over the The general trend in future enrollments for the bring younger households into the area. next ten years with all grade levels (5-12) Cheltenham School District calls for an increase of experiencing net positive growth by 2026.

ELk'.'.PA,I HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY $- LYNNEWOOD HALL HABS No. PA-6146 Location: 920 Spring Avenue, Elkins Park, Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania. Significance: Lynnewood Hall, designed by famed Philadelphia architect Horace Trumbauer in 1898, survives as one of the finest country houses in the Philadelphia area. The 110-room mansion was built for street-car magnate P.A.B. Widener to house his growing family and art collection which would later become internationally renowned. 1 The vast scale and lavish interiors exemplify the remnants of an age when Philadelphia's self-made millionaire industrialists flourished and built their mansions in Cheltenham, apart from the Main Line's old society. Description: Lynnewood Hall is a two-story, seventeen-bay Classical Revival mansion that overlooks a terraced lawn to the south. The house is constructed of limestone and is raised one­ half story on a stone base that forms a terrace around the perimeter of the building. The mansion is a "T" plan with the front facade forming the cross arm of the "T". Enclosed semi­ circular loggias extend from the east and west ends of the cross arm and a three-story wing forms the leg of the 'T' to the north. The most imposing exterior feature is the full-height, five-bay Corinthian portico with a stone staircase and a monumental pediment.

    BOOK REVIEWS Philadelphia Georgian: The City House of Samuel Powel and Some of Its Eighteenth-Century Neighbors. By GEORGE B. TATUM. (Middletown, Conn.: Wesleyan University Press, 1976. xvii, 187 p. Illustrations, bibliography, index. #17.50 hard cover; #4.95 paperback.) George B. Taturn's Philadelphia Georgian is the type of comprehensive study every historic house deserves. Few American buildings are as well documented or as carefully researched as the fine brick house completed in 1766 for Charles Stedman and later owned and embellished by the "patriot mayor," Samuel Powel. Thus, the publication of this volume is a significant event. Mr. Tatum, H. Rodney Sharp Professor of Art History at the University of Delaware, places his description of the Powel House within a context of social and architectural history that underscores the importance of the building itself. While the study concentrates on the Powel House, background information is provided by a survey of Georgian architecture in America as expressed in Philadelphia and its environs. Superb photographs by Cortlandt van Dyke Hubbard illustrate the architectural heritage of the city and enable the reader to compare the Powel House with other remaining eighteenth-century buildings. Samuel Powel epitomized the colonial gentleman. Rich, well-educated, an outstanding citizen, he married Elizabeth Willing in 1769, and their house at 244 South Third Street formed the setting for the sophisticated life they led until his death in 1793. Mrs. Powel sold the house in 1798 to William Bingham; it passed through successive owners in the nineteenth century, but remained intact until 1917, when a paneled room was sold to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for installation in the American Wing.
