Historic West Philly




In

the case of 4224-26 Baltimore, I agree with you: if knocking it down wasn't possible, the current owner probably wouldn't have bought it. And it probably wouldn't have been worth $3.5 million if the house had to remain. And if the value had been lower, perhaps someone with a better use in mind would have been able to afford it. Historic districts aren't all about gentrification; things aren't that simplistic. In a case like this, an HD probably would have kept the price lower; it would have been our friend!

This is a building that is being torn down. Its an historic building. Photos were takenFriday Feb 27
