View from the kitchen. A lot of older Philly rowhomes had no indoor kitchen when they were built. This one was no exception. So, at some point the old back wall of the house (green-painted brick) became an inside wall. #oldhouses #philadelphiaarchitectu… instagr.am/p/CsFOwoHJ2sR/

A lot of layers here, but you can still see the diagonal let-in bracing on this wall. This is a little bathroom addition over a kitchen. Surprisingly, there was some steel under this to support it. Unsurprisingly, it was made up of random pieces of angle… instagr.am/p/CsFOaWppSGC/

This used to be a very large storefront window. Then they made it smaller. Then they made it smaller, again. We are making it bigger, and are also rebuilding all the framing to make everything more sound and secure. @toner_architects, @raphylaffytaffy @… instagr.am/p/CsFNdPMplAW/

Scenes from a recent site visit. Going to be doing a little remedial work here. No, I did not make it up to the third "floor". #structurewhoneedsit #oldhouses #phillyarchitecture #philly #phillyarchitects #philadelphiaarchitecture #sitevisit #southphill… instagr.am/p/CsFNAG6pY3t/
