240 W Tulpehocken St, Philadelphia, PA 19144

How deep are your pockets?
Even stripped to her bare bones you can tell how amazing she is.
What kills me is that the person who will be able to afford to restore this gal isn't going to stay true to what she was. They are going to make her super modern and sleek. Ugh. Not much bugs me more than that.

A unique opportunity to restore a historic property in the Tulpehocken Station Historic District. Designed by the Philadelphia architect Frank Miles Day and built in 1892 for Harry K Cummings. The residence is a renaissance revival design that borrows from a variety of european styles. Added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 2012, the property was formerly used as office space. Situated on 1.05 acres the main residence and detached carriage house have over 7,000 SqFt of living space to recreate in your own vision. Each floor of the main house is framed out with six large rooms with varying configurations. The carriage house has a large open room and several small adjoining rooms on the 1st floor and three rooms on the 2nd floor. The interior of the main house has been mostly gutted of the plaster/lathe, plumbing and electric leaving the original framed layout in place.
