~ 1874 REAL ESTATE ~
JOHN COCHRAN SALES FOR PROSPECT PARK
The original development of Prospect Park opened for sales in September of 1874. John Cochran, of Chester, was in partnership with builder James C. Shedwick of Race St. Phila. A recession in 1874 hurt sales and Cochran who also owned Norwood, was forced to sell the property in 1877. The two buyers, who each bought a 1/2 were Shedwick and a local farmer, Charles Horne.
