Tag: Home of the Week

The spotlight falls this week on a house we found over on Cottage Street near Bridge. It’s a quite block near the cemetery. And it’s only a stone’s throw away from an architecturally significant building that I’ll post next week.

This week is a neighbor of last weeks featured home. At the corner of Griscom and Harrison Streets.

You may have seen this home in passing Frankford hospital on your way up Harrison Street. I have not been able to get a picture of it that does justice to the nice garden in the side yard. It is a gem.

A sunny day on Tackawanna Street.

It’s true that sometimes I do some cropping to frame the image of a house to cut out those on either side. Sometimes I find a gem in the middle of a group that are just ordinary. The homes this week are actually 4 in an entire row that overall is outstanding. There are others in Frankford, to be sure, but these homes on Church Street are the homes of the week.

You always see a theme here. On this cool Fall day it’s Halloween but Christmas will be going up probably in a few weeks now. It’s interesting to see how these four identical row houses have evolved over their lifetimes.
