In Manayunk

Last March, we told you about plans for a new Wendy's at 5901 Ridge Ave., which was previously home to the historic Bunting House. Built around 1880 and originally occupied by philanthropist doctor Ross Richardson Bunting, the building was demolished in 2012, along with several adjacent properties. When neighbors learned about the possibility of

A project that's apparently been percolating for years is finally progressing on Terrace Street, just a short distance from the modular development on Ridge we told you about the other day. The former Polish Falcon Hall at 3967 Terrace St. has been vacant for quite some time, but will soon contain

A reader gave us the heads up last week that cranes were delivering modules to the corner of Ridge & Lauriston, for the construction of several new homes. We made our way up there earlier today and found some brand new buildings on this site, where once there was a

A reader was wondering about the ongoing construction taking place at 6225 Ridge Ave., a property that was once home to a car dealership. That business went away years ago, though, and the site has sat dormant ever since. Earlier this year, though, construction got underway here in earnest, replacing

Earlier this year, we told you about plans for Kingsley Court, a suburban-style 32 home development that would replace the blighted Ivy Ridge Assisted Living facility at 5627 Ridge Ave. in Roxborough. The project had a formal groundbreaking in February, and when we went by the site a couple of weeks ago

We admit, we don't get to Manayunk or Roxborough enough. But when we do, we almost always find some new and interesting projects to cover. Often, the topography alone makes a project noteworthy. Take the Treetops at Terrace development for example. These three homes were constructed a couple of years

In 1901, the Fourth Reformed Church moved from its original location on Main Street into some new digs. The congregation worshipped in this building at the corner of Manayunk & Monastery for almost seventy years. Since then, the beautiful structure has largely sat empty, slowly deteriorating and poorly maintained by its

A couple of weeks ago, an official groundbreaking took place at Ridge & Fairthorne for a new senior housing development from Interact. Currently a vacant lot and previously a car dealership, this lot could have been home to a fast food place or a bank, but the community apparently preferred

A reader shot us an email recently, wondering what's up with 6056 Ridge Ave., the former Roxborough-Manayunk Bank building. Over the last couple of months, developers have torn the facade off of the building as it undergoes a massive renovation.

The property was built in 1956, according to the Preservation Alliance,

We were traipsing through Manayunk the other day, and some new construction on Lyceum Avenue caught our eye. Doing some digging on the project, we found some info from the Roxborough-Manayunk Patch, the local website covering all things Manayunk and Roxborough. And according to the Patch, the project at 368
