In Rittenhouse

Rittenhouse Square is jam-packed with amazing architecture, with the stately Boyd's building at 1818 Chestnut St. serving as an amazing example of the area's offerings. This grand clothing store has been operating here for nearly a century, serving as a vestige of the shopping habits of years past, hearkening back

The other day, we were out visiting a lovely triumvirate of new homes at 21st & Rodman and we barely made it half a block before a project at 2100 Lombard St. popped back onto our development radar. As you cans see, these projects sit basically on the same block,

Isn't it fun when the Spring of Deception rears its head, only to then suddenly whip you back towards the icy throes of Third Winter? Sometimes it is, actually, like the other day when our inappropriate jacket selection caused us to take an unexpected route in hopes of avoiding the

You may remember back in August when we took you to 2112 Walnut St. in Rittenhouse Square to tell you about a proposed overbuild directly next to an already completed overbuild. We had a bit of a fake-out on our hands since then, as the proposal was pulled from subsequent

Now that we've navigated #SpookySZN and have started blasting Mariah Carey, we decided to make our way through Rittenhouse to see something decidedly unscary. On a stretch that formerly was best known for its parking garage, the property at 1620 Sansom St. has undergone a major improvement over the last

Thanks to Philly's often vague rules and overlapping jurisdictional claims, the projects we see presented to a given governing body can look wildly different. Case in point: two projects which were recently posted to the Architectural Committee website of Philadelphia's Historical Commission. One might rightfully expect to see rowhouse additions,
