Pridmore and Edgewater??

Like a lot of houses in my area (Edgewater), my house is quite threatened by developers. I was contacted by the historical society recently. Our house is one of the 9 last tract Cochrane (the person who developed Edgewater) homes in the area.

So, it is a three story Victorian on a wide lot that was designed by an archtect named Pridmore for his sister. It is about 103 years old. We have a few changes to the house, but generally it is quite intact, with pocket doors original fireplaces, etc.

I'd like to find out more about the architect and maybe find some old pics of the place. We need to expand...but I REFUSE to sell ouut to a developer and have a five story condo building replace it.

Anybody have some sources??

Thanks. >
