Back in September, we wondered about 915 S 11th St., the building that once housed the South Philadelphia State Bank. The building, which has been home to Cambridge Spice Trading Co. for many years, appears to be poorly maintained despite its unique appearance and history.

It seems like it would be an outstanding candidate for a condo conversion, and we’re kind of wondering why this hasn’t happened already, given the desirability of Bella Vista.

A reader tipped us off this week that demo has apparently begun at this building, noting the presence of a dumpster and a construction fence.

Cool, huh?

Anybody have any idea what’s going on here?
