This is the same intersection where the premises on Woodland Drive were the location where on May 13-14, 2015 a quadruple murder took place. Three members of one family were killed along with a housekeeper. Mass killing and then an arson attempt to cover evidence. A suspect was found guilty and sentenced to four consecutive life-without release terms.

This neighborhood was exclusive from the start. The Washington Post reports that Rep. Martin B. Madden (Republican, Illinois), chair of the appropriations committee, lived at 3201 Woodland Drive in the 1920s.
Two homes on the market: $6.5 million and $8.3 million.

Are those speed bumps laying on the road or did Batman just leave the Batcave?
That property corner marker labeled "LOT 1" is the biggest monument I've ever seen a surveyor use. We have a piece of rebar poking up half an inch out of the ground on each corner of our lot.
Speakin' of cryin', I would do so with delight if someone out there could produce a photo that shows what this sylvan intersection looks like today. Thank you.
That corner's crying for a 7-Eleven.
