Long awaited, much anticipated, urgently needed: That’s the best way to describe the rehabilitation project that’s been going on in Fishtown throughout this punishing winter.
We’d originally intended to begin work in 2014, but we managed to raise the funds a full year ahead of schedule, so work began as soon as Fishtown’s shops closed for the season.
Our partners in this project have been HopkinsBurns Design Studio, for architectural services, and Easling Construction, for project oversight.
Here are some photos of the project underway. These photos are in chronological order, from October through yesterday.
