Here’s another challenge for you Arlington folks. This is a photo taken around 1921, and it shows a few homes in Lyon Park. Any idea where this is or if these homes still exist?

Solving the Mystery of 1921 Photos of Homes in Lyon Park, Arlington
N. Lincoln St. one block north of Pershing Drive. Lived at 434 N. Lincoln, looks like first house on left next to 5th Street N.
It does look similar …

One friend of the Arlington Historical Society also suggested: Pershing Drive. While another thought it might be Fillmore and First Street?
I don’t think it could be N. Lincoln, as it’s located in Ashton Heights, but hard to tell.

Both houses on right and left still exist. House on the right has been renovated.
That’s the 700 block of North Fillmore Street. I grew up on the street and recognized it immediately!
This is Fillmore Street, 700/800 block, looking North. Most of the homes still stand. The photo must be 1920 because our 1920 home appears to just be foundations.
A rough side by side comparison of this picture and how it looks now.
