The developer, Steph-Sin Development, has done a couple of other houses on this block and

Located on the northeast corner of 11th and Montrose Sts., the former home of the South Philadelphia State Bank is a total mystery to us.

The school is re-imagining its entrance and its interaction with the street, and the

We were in the neighborhood the other day and noticed some work going on at 603 Catharine St. From the looks of it, the house is being completely gutted. Being curious and a little forward, we stopped to ask the crew what they were up to. Turns out they had

A reader asked us about a newish foundation they noticed on tiny Clymer St. in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood.
