There was a time when Cherry Lane actually had a number of cherry trees. This postcard shows what Cherry Lane looked like looking south from Darlington Avenue in 1902.
Cherry Lane, 1902
Looking closely, you can see that there was only one house on the road back then. The area on the right of the photograph, near where you can see a wooden fence, would become the location of the first St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Church in 1904.
This postcard is from the author’s personal collection.

I lived at this intersection (Cherry Lane @ Darlington Ave) back in the 60′s. Even to this day, my memory fills the picture with the images of the homes of my friends and the church. Great pic. Thanks so much for sharing.
From Joseph Culin:
Yep, this was directly across the street from our house.
