Medlock Park area photos from the 1950s

These photos, rescued recently from a Medlock Park estate sale, show the Medlock Park neighborhood as it looked from the air in the mid 1950s. The estate belonged to a member of the Harrington family (on Harrington Drive) and if I am not mistaken most if not all of the homes that are now found in Medlock Park were built on land originally owned by the Harringtons.
