I was in Lancaster last week and was able to spend a lot of time walking around looking at the areas listed above.  In 1935, the Applebach family lived at 211 E. Chestnut and here is what it looks like now: 





Taylor's address when he died was 138 E. Chestnut, and this is what it looks like now.  I spoke to the elderly man on the porch and he said he had lived there a "long time" and it had always been apartments:




These 2 addresses are in the immediate area of Musser Park, I am standing at the corner of Lime and Chestnut.  My father and his family had no doubt walked on the same sidewalks I was walking on, maybe the kids even played in Musser Park:
