Here a some examples of the different styles of homes that we admired as we strolled through Philly:
Colorful shutters and red brick.
Old home near the Historical area.
A very British look…
Brick row houses show their colors. God bless America and the Irish too!( Hey, I am 3/4 Irish thanks to Dad).
D & I called this “the purple house”. It was on a street behind our B&B.
This is a private courtyard so let us mind our manners…
See where we are?! It is the real name of this place! But it turns out this is a family name.So, I guess that it wasen’t as exciting as we might imagine. Just a dude with that funny name who founded this.In any case, its founding precedes the American revolution.
I will take you to a funky house the next time 
Cheers!
Bonjour Barbara!

Oh, what AWESOME photos!!! As you know, this is my favorite section of Philadelphia because of all the history and architecture, so I know it well. Especially the fifth photo down (Spruce Street).
Funny, I was thinking of you this past weekend,while down in that area. I was on Elfreth’s Alley, which is the oldest street in Philly. Love the cobblestone street!
Thanks for sharing this pictorial journey, my friend! I need to find out where that “Drunker’s Court” is – hilarous!
Have a terrific Tuesday!

Hi Ronnie,
Thank you, dear; it is always a huge pleasure sharing here
I am not scolding you but darn it for us; Elfreth’s alley was one spot we missed! Next time for sure we will do it! I so love the old brick homes, esp near the historical area. I could see myself in one of those. The only drawback; Philly’s very humid summers.
Great; you filled me into the place where we found the homes with the columns. Spruce street.
No kidding; you have never been to Drinker’s court? Hehe
Now you have and you are as dry as a desert.
I had to add the sign because seeing is believing.
Have a great day and XO down to ya in Philly.
Just been enjoying your photos. Philly looks good – makes me think we will visit the US again some time…! Right now it’s busy busy time here, so no time/inspiration to write my blog as am preparing for a talk I’m giving in Edinburgh.

Hello Joyce,
I am happy to see you here
Phladelphia would be an interesting choice if you come back to the US. There is much History here to discover. It is a big city but accesable on foot,or bus. And now, you know someone who can fill you in to what is a must to see!
Take care
XO
