That log cabin on Lawrence is of relatively recent origin. The cabin was built by hand in 1985 for around $50,000 by artist Jeff Thomas. It's positioned on four plots of land that once belonged a former girlfriend of Thomas'. The conceptual artist had just moved from West Virginia, where he had constructed a similar log cabin as part of a 1970's "back to the land" commune. The commune's days were short-lived and he moved to Philadelphia and built this log cabin from poplar trees he had trucked in from West Virgina. Thomas put the cabin on the market in 2018, and I'm not sure if it sold. The building is ~1000 square feet and has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. That's all I know.

I came across your channel on RU-vid about and was so surprised what Franklin Mills looks like now. I've been an amputee for 10yrs now so I don't get out as much anymore to see the City, I'm glad I came across your video & I subscribed also. It brung back so many memories of Port Richmond, My Auntie lived on Cambria St. I would take my Mom down their every Sunday to visit her sister. Your videos bring back memories when I used to drive these Streets.
Still fish off the pier at Pulaski Park the rebuild of it is beautiful. I also used to fish those piers behind the old grain elevator before it was demolished. My friend knew a Conrail cop years ago who gave us a key to access certain piers to fish off of. Good times.
"The iconic log cabin house in Northern Liberties is for sale, asking $639,000." "Built for $50,000, today it’s on the market asking $639,000 and is being sold as-is."

I really thought we could get through the summer without these car freaks doing this stuff in Center City. 😮 Did they forget that one of them was shot and killed by a state trooper last summer? The guy had a confrontation with the troopers on I-95 near Penn's Landing.
