“Philadelphia: City of Homes” is a Beautiful Look at the City’s Homes

By Grace Hackney

"Philadelphia: City of Homes” by David S. Traub features every unique element that makes up Philadelphian home architecture. This book showcases every neighborhood in Philadelphia in the best ways possible.

Traub does a great job of showcasing the pleasantries that make every Philadelphia neighborhood remarkable.
