Trying to find out how old the trees on Griffith Avenue are. Anyone know when it was built?

Griffith Avenue developed at different stages- for example most of the houses were built in 1926-1929, whereas the RC church predates this by almost 50 years.

It also depends on which end, the east end is the oldest and the west end. The east end would be 1920-30s, the west end (Griffith Avenue Extension, etc.) is more 1960s.

I think the trees are circa 1940 on the main part (not extension). I've family pictures of my father, who grew up on Griffith Ave, as a kid when the trees were very young. He was born '41.
