Robert Littell (1831-1896) grew up on nearby Alton Place and continued to live there after his 1860 marriage (to Harriet Ann Moody). In the late 1860s, his family moved to Aspinwall Ave. After the death of his father in 1870, and both his wife and his mother in early 1873, Robert and his children moved back into the house on Alton Place. He joined his sister, Susan, there.
Robert's father, Eliakim Littell, founded Littell’s Living Age, a publication lasting nearly 100 years that reprinted highlights from American and British newspapers. Robert took over the reins after his death with Susan as editor. After Robert died in 1896, the house was purchased by Harry Freeman who tore it down, created a cross street in its place named Littell Rd., and built a development of houses there.
Susan Littell (1830-1911) grew up on nearby Alton Place, never married, and continued to live there into adulthood with her parents. In 1873, her brother, Robert, and his children moved back into the house after the death of his wife and their parents.

This photo probably shows Susan much as she would have appeared on this visit to Adeline's house.
