Frankford home of the week

Also down on the 1600 block of Harrison Street is a unique and at the same time disadvantaged property.  It is an old victorian converted to apartments but the owners have maintained it beautifully all these years.  I was looking for an apartment back in 1970 and looked there but they didn’t have anything in my price range.  It is still a great looking building today.

See our slideshow of all the homes of the week here.
