1324 Mifflin Render

1324 Mifflin St., has some unique history and a highly unusual shape, but you wouldn't know it by simply walking past the property. There’s a three story building on Mifflin Street, but most of the first floor of the building functions as a driveway that leads to a large warehouse that fills all

Remember last week, when we told you about the upcoming renovation of a former carpet mill on the 100 block of W. Huntingdon St. into apartments? That story provided another example (in a rapidly growing list of examples) of the way that increased development activity in South Kensington and East

Center City is set to lose another low rise parking garage, and this time it's the unexciting two-story structure at 123 S. 12th St. that's on the outs. This isn't the first time we're bringing this building to your attention though - remember about two and a half years ago,

We were traveling around West Philadelphia the other day and stumbled upon a property that felt as if it had looked quite different not so long ago. Looking at the Google Maps Time Machine, we confirmed our suspicion that indeed, 525 N. 41st St. has changed considerably of late. For decades,
