Frank Lees caption: "The Malin family homestead was located on Ridley Creek Road just South of the Red Bridge at Rose Tree Road, very near where the, Brookwood Home is today (12-7-85). The photo shows a date of 1785, however papers and grants show that they owned this land back as far as the 1600s, extending from what is now Baltimore Pike, along both sides of Ridley Creek as far as Rose Tree Road." The property is now part of Louis Scott Park, the address of which gives an approximate location of the house.
