Lyndhurst Electric Farm, Chester County, Pennsylvania


"Lyndhurst Electric Farm, Geo. J. Hoopes, owner."
The Lyndhurst Electric Farm was located along the Lincoln Highway in Caln Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, somewhere between the towns of Coatesville and Downingtown.
The "Electric Farm" name came about in an obvious way sometime in the early twentieth century: "Township manager Sam Moore, a lifelong resident, remembers the excitement when one farm had its barn wired for electricity. Local residents immediately christened it 'The Electric Farm'" (see Jeff Gammage, "Caln Highway: Extension of History's Path," philly.com, Nov. 1, 1987).
Brian Butko, in his book, The Lincoln Highway: Pennsylvania Traveler's Guide, 2nd ed. (Stackpole Books, 2002), p. 76, mentions that "Lyndhurst was a farm and tourist home operated by George J. Hoopes," but I haven't been able to uncover any additional information regarding the Lyndhurst Electric Farm or its owner.
