It's reported in several places on the Web that to escape the overwhelming crush of fans when the Beatles played in Philadelphia on 9/2/64, they slept on the floor at the home of promoter Hy Lit. See, for ex., http://shadydell.blogspot.com/2008/11/remembering-hy-lit-may-20-1934-november_17.html ; and http://thekey.xpn.org/2014/09/02/the-beatles-in-philly/ . Mr. Lit's company was Hy Lit Enterprises. See http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Record-World/60s/68/RW-1968-09-07.pdf. PA corporate searches online show that the company was based out of 404 Caranel Circle, Narberth, PA 19072. Unfortunately, Montgomery County online real estate records do not go back far enough to see whether he lived here in 1964, but the home was built in 1960, according to real estate info on the Web. I think there might be a case to submit that Hy Lit had lived here, and this is where the Beatles spent the night.
