Elizabeth “Dib” Landsdowne, a longtime Mercer Island resident, seen here on Feb. 28, 1971. She was the original owner of the Landsdowne Lane area before it was developed.
The photo was sent in by Landsdowne’s niece, Lisa Richardson, who said as kids her family would drive up from California every summer to visit. What is now a paved road from Island Crest Way used to be the driveway.
