We last checked in on the 1200 block of N. 27th St. a little over a year ago, noting that a new duplex was under construction at 1210 N. 27th St., next door to the North Abbey residential conversion at 27th & Girard. While the renovated church to the south

For those living in Francisville, it isn't news that the eastern side of the 700 block of 20th Street is a mess, architecturally speaking. A handful of hundred year old homes are still standing on this block and those homes are owned by PHA and go all the way up to the

So we were a little confused when we saw that there was a proposal for 71 new apartments at the northeast corner of 8th & Thompson. In a vacuum, this might seem like the logical next step in the progression of development in South Kensington. We've already covered several projects

The other day, we passed by the building, which

15th Street in Francisville has seen all kinds of changes over the last few years, with numerous vacant lots turning over as developers have built new homes and apartment buildings. But there's still plenty of vacant land remaining, so opportunities remain for additional construction. About half a year ago, we

We've visited the 1400 block of Pemberton Street on a couple of occasions, most recently a little over two years ago when we checked in on 1420 and 1422 Pemberton St., two homes that were taking a really long time to reach the finish line. But the developers did finally

A reader tipped us off about some zoning notices at 1602-04 N. 3rd St. in South Kensington, and we decided to investigate. On our way to this property though, it came to our attention that 3rd Street disappears for several blocks in this neighborhood, ending at Thompson Street and resuming
