Cobble Court is a historic house originally commissioned by the distiller J. Hazeltine Carstairs, who owned 50 acres from Marple Rd. to Ardmore Ave. Originally named Spring Hill Farms, the house was built alongside the first hole of the Merion Golf Club west course in 1924.https://simson.net/ref/1970/Spring_Hill_Farms.pdf Sold to Henry Bryer, the owner of Bryers, a prominent ice cream manufacturer, who installed the cobblestone courtyard, and changed the name to "Cobble Court." In 1963 the Breyers estate was subdivided and the main house sold to Stuart Saunders of the Pennsylvania Railroad.http://haverfordhistoricalsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/historic_resources_survey/HRS_100-110_1350497919_693237.pdf Read more on Wikipedia
