The Roots Picnic traffic at Belmont Plateau made it a challenge, but made some headway sprucing up the courtyard at the Belmont Avenue building!

Belmont bi-level 2 bedroom apartment available next week, right on Belmont Avenue in West Philly. The building is over 100 years old now. It's common for stair treads to settle and lean to one side after many years of use. TNT Remodelers installed new pine treads, risers, and landing that'll probably last another 100 years. New carpeting installed by Gerry Carpets Jr. Looks wonderful...

I recently received notification from the Philadelphia Historical Commission, the nomination of the Blakemore Street Historical District, built 1926-27 (link below). It would include all 29 Tudor revival buildings on the 6600 block in East Mt. Airy, where PWR aquired one of the unique apartment buildings in 2005. There's some interesting history about the properties, with the subject property on page 43 of the report. The committee will review the nomination summer 2025.

Additionally, Germantown Manor Condominiums, built 1920, where PWR acquired one unit in the West Mt. Airy building in 2021, was officially added to the historical registry recently as well.

I think it's good these old properties are being recognized and protected as it's becoming more and more common to demolish them to make room for new construction. A lot of the new construction is great, however, Philadelphia is one of the oldest cities in the country. Let's retain some of it's character.
