Update: Mike C. got it. “Is that the old West Philly High?” It is indeed.
The old West Philly High is still for sale so no one is sure what will become of these little sculptures outside. They’re cool.
Think you know your hood? This is part of a photo that was taken somewhere in the area between 52nd to 40th streets, Market to Kingsessing. We will zoom it out each day until someone gets it right. Register your guess in the comments and be specific about the location.
The last time we did this, Andy L. got it in about 10 minutes. Hopefully this one is more challenging.
One guess per person per day please.
Hint 1: To help out a little, we are reducing the size of the area. So lets say 42nd to 49th streets, Market to Baltimore.
I guess the row of gargoyles along spruce between 37th and 35th.
I’d have guessed that too if it were within the boundaries.
On Calvary Church?
Dental school at 40th & Spruce?
Looks like 1/7th of the famous dwarves!
This face is so familiar to me, I feel like I see it every day. I’m going to second Lynn’s suggestion and go with Calvary Church.
I agree with Anna – pretty sure it’s the dental school!
Not the dental school or Calvary. We zoomed out a little more.
I think its the gargoyles up on the Penn dorms (Woodland Walk, near 38th)
OK we added a sort of hint by reducing the area. Now it’s 42nd to 49th, Market to Baltimore.
Pretty sure it’s not Cavalry due to brick…not sure which church/institution though.
Is that the old West Philly High?
It is the old West Philly High Mike. Well done.
Very cool. But I’m actually Mike C.
Nice quiz! I’ve never noticed those before.
I LOVE this Quiz and will now be bringing my camera to places I go to share (not sure how here but) what fun! WPH is for sale? I’d love to see it turn into an alternative (radical, yes) school/community resource center – Will Smith Hellooooo??
