The elevation indicates that this single family home was designed to prevent the inhabitants from getting sunburned.
sunburned? To getting any satisfaction that they belong to the rich history of Philadelphia row-housing. This looks like an El Salvador prison. There is something about a vertical down the center of the window blocking a view which speaks volumes.
That could be the most uninspired elevation I have ever seen. -Jim
