Man, how time flies. It's been over two years since we directed your attention to a weird shed on the north side of the 1200 block of Fitzwater Street. Located behind Hawthorne Lofts, a 54-unit condo building developed by the Rufo Company, this building was owned by the very same developers.

Back in September, we shared news that the tax delinquent owners of the former Liberty Self Storage warehouse near 4th & George had apparently saved their large building from sheriff's sale by beginning to make good on their back taxes. The building sold back in April, and now the property looks like it

In recent weeks, we've profiled two shuttered Philadelphia schools which are currently available for sale through a cooperative effort with PIDC.
