Woodward heir grants easement
to Historical Society
A parcel of land to be developed
by KatieWorrall
When you drive across McCallum Street Bridge from
West Mt. Airy to Chestnut Hill, you reach an oasis, a field known
as Krisheim East.
Quita Woodward Horan, who inherited the land from
her father, Charles W. Woodward, is taking steps toward the future
of the land. A two-acre plus piece of the land will be preserved
through an easement granted to the Chestnut Hill Historical Society
and a co-sponsor, the Friends of the Wissahickon. The remaining
acreage will be developed into four properties by a partnership,
Krisheim East, LLC.
A press release from the historical society stated
that restrictions on the parcel of land put under easement will

from Penn Charter and a few months before I started at
Penn, I took a summer job delivering food for Slack's
Hoagie Shack in the Northeast, not far from my house in
Abington. From 10 until 8 each day, I'd drive my Ford
Explorer through a maze of unassuming streets to homogenous

seat.
I remember the smell of someone's lunch
