175 W. Oxford St. is a large parcel bordered by 2nd Street, Hancock Street, Turner Street, and Oxford Street which covers just shy of 60K sqft. The property is less defined by what's there- a 2 story building that was originally built for industrial use- as it is defined by the fact

A little over two years ago, we called your attention to 101-109 Ellsworth St., noting that the collection of buildings was listed for sale for $1.2M. This property was known as Southwark House for over a hundred years, offering social services to the community. Southwark House merged into United Communities of Southeast Philadelphia somewhere along

Turn back the clock a decade, and the 2800 block of Cecil B. Moore Ave. was in pretty rough shape. After many years of disinvestment, it was littered with blighted buildings and vacant lots, and it didn't seem likely that anything would be changing any time soon.Then Brewerytown happened. Over the

When we think of Toll Bros., we think of condos. Projects from this developer in Philadelphia have included Naval Square, Stamper Square, 2400 South, and a now under construction tower on Jewelers' Row.

It's not entirely clear to us exactly how a small surface parking lot came to exist spanning the 700 blocks of Latona and Manton Street. Lookin at historic maps, we can see that there were homes here at one point, but the properties have been vacant since at least the 1940s.

We stumbled onto a row of new construction recently at the intersection of 9th & Noble and had a funny feeling we'd written about the project before. As is usually the case when we have these feelings, we have indeed covered this project before, back in 2016, when the property

Quick - where's Bank Street?

Don't know?

What about Elbow Lane?

Now tell us where the two intersect.

Give up?As you can see, Bank Street runs north to south for a mere block, between Chestnut and Market Streets, between 2nd and 3rd Streets. We don't know for sure, but we'd have to think that the

It's a tale of two cities, er, neighborhoods in Packer Park, where half the homes in the neighborhood were constructed in the 1950s and 1960s and the rest were built in the last fifteen years. Needless to say, the older homes don't look quite the same as the newer homes. As

A reader reached out to us the other day, wondering about some recently started demolition on the 2200 block of Spring Garden Street. This felt like familiar territory, and lo and behold, we had indeed covered the property in question, 2225-27 Spring Garden St., once before. A little more than
