Charm on Judson Street, Philadelphia

Philadelphia City Hall, August 6, 10:48 a.m.

This photo was taken from the east side of Philadelphia City Hall. It's an old building, so they apparently had to use window air-conditioners.

A weathered red brick building features a rusted metal door, with two bricked-up windows and an air-conditioning unit on its wall. Near the building's corner, there is an overgrown patch of grass, and in the background, a blue pickup truck is parked alongside urban structures.

fineartamerica.com/featured/rusty-door-on-a-brick-buildin...

As the title infers, this was one of my homegrown plants from the mid 1970s. I grew it in an old developer tray that I placed on top of my window air-conditioner!

I took this picture with my Minolta SRT101 35mm camera with a macro lens.

Write me a song called "The Building is from 1959." No don't.

The teal panels and the pale green glazed bricks and the rounded corners of selected windows are attractive even yet. The awful plastic films on the windows are very unattractive, really really bad-looking.

The venetian blinds and vents and air conditioner are neither attractive nor unattractive.

July 1, 2017 - We are now heading to dinner on a busy night in Hong Kong. Today is the 20th anniversary that Hong Kong was returned to Mainland China and after dinner we walked through Temple Street known for shopping followed by a ride on the subway since our bus was stuck in traffic. We then met up with our bus and drove up Victoria Peak to watch the celebratory fireworks display.

Hey the building was erected in 1915 as the Ocala Knitting and Manufacturing Company, a Black-owned manufacturer of cotton underwear.

This residential building is one a row of three closely-spaced, detached brick houses with Gothic details on Claflin Avenue, between Eames Place and W. 195th Street in the Bronx, New York City.

Based on a brief item in the NY Times, dated 24 October 1925, it appears this group of houses was designed by Horace Ginsberg (who later changed his name to Ginsbern), a prominent Bronx architect. The text in the paper: "Claflin Avenue, west side, 79.04 feet north of Eames Place - Three 2-story brick dwellings, 30 x 54.4 feet. Keliman & Rosen, owners. Horace Ginsbeg, architect. $25,000"

Ginsberg/Ginsbern is better known for his work designing apartment houses, including the Art Deco style Park Plaza apartments on Jerome Avenue, which is a NYC Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the "Fish Building," on the Grand Concourse.

Claflin Avenue takes its name from the Claflin Estate, a large property in the northern Bronx which was one of the last large properties sold when it was subdivided and put up for auction in 1919 as the area urbanized with the extension of subway lines providing service to Manhattan. H.B. (Horace Brigham) Claflin was a "merchant prince of New York" and when his former estate was put up for sale, an ad for the auction, alluding to his mercantile background, stated that "Real Estate is Merchandise." See: digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/83acfcf0-69ca-0131-665c...

"If it weren't from 1946 I wouldn't care about this building at all!" I exclaimed as I took pictures.

"Mim's Bar" used to occupy the downstairs. Do you think Buick LaCrosses are beautiful?

A funfact about this building from my family history: In 1966 my parents met and fell in love when they were trapped in the upstairs apartment with several other people for an entire night. Their romance didn't last but here I am!

No I'm just kidding about the house, it's actually the majorly historic "John Frissell House." It is office space nowadays, part of it at least.

According to my analysis of Sanborn fire insurance maps of Hazleton, the building was probably erected sometime between 1905 and 1909.

My favorite things to buy at Melvin Grocery are jugos naturales y verde, sandwich, pagos de billes, and envios. My favorite things to buy at Closet Multiservice are Pennsylvania license plates, cell phones, and taxprep.

Ah 1950s apartment buildings, with the small touches of glass block, and the poorly-insulated difficult-to-operate windows we associate the buildings of that time.

We do not wish to live in areas dominated by 1950s apartment buildings, but we enjoy having them scattered around here and there, among buildings from other decades, to look at.
