Located in the Powelton Historic District of Drexel University's main campus,
these gorgeous Victorian-style houses are home to Greek fraternies and sororities. Kelly Maiello Architects was asked to upgrade the aesthetics of eight porches on North 34th Street, four of which have been completed. The wood flooring was removed and replaced with artificial wood decking that was approved by the Philadelphia Historic Commission. All railings and skirt boards were also replaced, reusing material where possible. Brick piers were either repointed or added to maintain a consistent appearance.
