A couple of readers have reached out recently, wondering about some major renovation work taking place at a hundred plus year old warehouse building in Northern Liberties. We were under the impression that 1136 N. American St. had been converted to apartments several years ago, like the Becker Building next

We were rumbling through Francisville the other day, and happened upon a 'For Sale' sign on an oddly shaped building across from the Francisville Playground. 723 N. 19th St. has been home to Joy Chinese Food for the last couple of years, and before that another restaurant called a Lucky

It's been hot for a week and we're past Memorial Day, so summer has officially begun in Philadelphia, calendar be damned. With "summer" now underway, we can look forward to all of the cool stuff that comes with the season, including trips downashore, John's Water Ice, and PHS Pop Up

Yesterday, we told you about plans for an addition at 2108-10 Walnut St., currently a four story brownstone and a surface parking lot.

Developers have their eye on an old brownstone at 2108 Walnut St. and the vacant lot next door which has been used as a surface parking lot for many decades. We actually covered this building at one point a few years ago after a spa moved out of the first floor

For one of our very first posts on Naked Philly, way back in the summer of 2011, we told you about a seemingly stalled project at 1120 S. Front St. in Pennsport. In the years prior to that story, the address was home to an auto garage and the building

We would have to imagine that at some point in its history, the northeast corner of 46th & Walnut was home to a row of Victorian homes, or perhaps a larger castle-like structure like the property on the southeast corner of this intersection.Southeast corner of 46th & WalnutMore recently, at least

The garages at 1834-48 Frankford Ave., built in the 1920s, are fine enough buildings, and they were most recently home to an auto shop on one side and the Philadelphia Sculpture Gym on the other. Developers bought the property earlier this year and have plans to demolish the building and build a
