Quirk Arrives at Lehigh
In searching through the archives of Lehigh University's student newspaper, The Brown and White, we came across this article from Quirk's first year. It provides a brief background and mentions two children. (I had only recently learned of one.)
It mentions an exhibit of his work including pastels, portraits and fishing scenes from Maine.
The house currently listed as 1814 Homestead Ave, Bethlehem, Pennsylania is pictured below. It was built in 1949-50.
