Philly Revival

It's Philippin' Huge

Rachel Street renovates a grand row home in the up-and-coming neighborhood of East Passyunk. Immediately, she faces structural problems in the century-old property and has to rebuild the entire exterior wall. She also modernizes the home's layout by creating an open space living area and adding a rooftop deck to take advantage of panoramic city views, and she revives Victorian features including ornate turrets, an elaborate built-in cabinet and an antique tile mosaic.
