This vintage image from around 1903, shows the students of the District 9 School. This brick schoolhouse was located near the intersection of Little Dry Run and Bridle Road, and was one of several new schools built in the 1870's. District 9 school closed in the early 1900's because of a shortage of pupils living nearby.

This vintage image dated 1925 shows Mont Davis, on the left, in front of The Davis Market, which was a roadside stand located at the southeast corner of Beechmont Avenue and Salem Pike. Mont, along with his father Clem Davis, operated the market beginning in 1919, and much of the produce sold came from Mont's nearby farm on Markley Road.

Lesley Gressle digitally tinted this image using Photoshop with ATHS permission. We have a few tinted images if people would like to see them; this one is posted in response to a comment on a previous post. Let us know.
