I was adopted from here in 1996. Crazy to see it again!!!!

I was born there in 1963

i was here for day care as a kid...

My deceased grandfather and his brother lived here after their mother died at the age of 24 in 1932. It feels strange to look at places that he would have spent much of his childhood, and it makes me wonder if he's in any of the old photos shown

I went there too, I got there January 2000 & left May 27th 2000 💔 this is so sad to me

I spent my whole life here in the northeast I just did a walking tour of the graveyard at All Saints church we have to keep these things alive the northeast has always been overlooked

I was in the film with my riding the third horse bell

Kings highway comes through the town i live in. Moorestown, NJ.

Two rich scum bag lawyers doing nothing with this once great building. I live in nearby Holmesburg and would like to know the exact location. Looks like a building that's on Academy Road about a block off Frankford Avenue. Wouldn't doubt that the two rich scum bag lawyers also own some run down houses and are slum landlords

My three kids went to kindergarten there 1986 to maybe 1991. They had the nicest principal whose name I can not remember.. Two of my kids were lucky to have the great caring Sister Barbara. She brought tears to my eyes when I heard when her sister asked her what she wanted for Christmas and she said a play house for her students. The principal told me that some of the children that were there for a month to over halve a year due to drug addicted single parent. She told me that they never taught them religion but goof ball liberals stopped sending such neglected children to a religious backed organization. Every May they had a great picnic on their grounds for the three kindergarten classes. Sure they did a far superior job then any government run orphnage. Was told that their land ran all the way to State Road before I95 was built back in the 1960's.

I lived in this group home .. I passed by and took a photo of me standing in front of it before it got demolished.. they shouldn’t have demolished it

My grandfather was born here @ St Vincent

She’s a gonerrrrrr besides the brick wall entrance and the blue rock construction already has a whole building started

Typical of Philadelphia!!

I wish the city would take better care of these historic places

I lived here for 6 months in 2002. From August 15th, 2002 to February of 2003. From there I went to foster care.

My parents got married here

what happen to byberry

The loss of St. Leo's church and St. Vincent"s building is a tragedy for Tacony.

My husband was orphaned in the early 60's, He spent about a year at St. Vincent's and said that the nuns were very kind to him.

It is sad to see it be demo the place

This is a crime, that structure should and could be a gem.

Great work by great people!

Just amazing everything, especially the owners. God bless them!

I wish I could help him. .. this building deserved to be saved !!!!!

This makes me so sad. What will happen to the cemetery ... they shouldn't be just dumped somewhere that's for sure.....

It's all gone now ... except the cemetery. Sadly even the school.

Ruins not rebuilt but preserved

I agree, all old buildings should be left alone so we can have the history for future generations, ruins should be left alone but obviously preserved but not restored so they don't disappear altogether

A sad sad day..... 9-30-2021 .... I drove by St. Vincent's today and realized they have tore it down! 😓

Great overview. I worked there in maintenance during college in the 90's for Joe L. He was a great guy who was a former resident, became the superintendent and lived on-campus in a private residence. They paid us well, treated us fairly, would feed you 3 meals a day and took really good care of those kids. Easily one of my favorite jobs. They also had day care, pre-school and summer camps. It's a shame to see it all come down. Let's hope they don't pave over the cemetery and turn the grave markers into ballast.

Beautiful historic hone, very well preserved by gracious owners. Thank you for the tour.

Missing you every day Diane, been lonely 12 days since your gone!

Great presentation of the Indian trail on Frankford Ridge.

This was wonderful - it was great hearing and seeing you read Wheatley's words with such passion, and with the imagery and dress - it really helped me get a better feeling of Phillis Whearley's passion. Thank you!

We had several great aunt and uncles who stayed there in the 1870's after our great-grandparents passed leaving them orphaned. Still trying to find the records on at least 1 uncle. Found the others but it wasn't easy. St. Vincent's did not have the information when I contacted them years ago. I agree, re-purpose the buildings if they are in good shape.

My grandma and grandpa moved from North Philly to holmesburg Philadelphia have pennypack in Jackson.

I ws there 11 month 78-79. The sister ni charge of the small boys was Sister Evett. Sister Francis was in charge. There was a bad nun who could make ur heart race. SISTER CONSTANCE. PUNCHED ME IN THE FACD CHOKED ME WTH HER FINGERS. BUT OTHER THEN HER ABUSE THEY WERE GOOD TO US TOOK US PLACES.

But really good memories wow so sad 😞

I did attend that home years ago like I can remember everything

I was there in the 90s

God bless you I totally agree many healthy safe blessing from above 🤗❤😇

Mr Sherman is hiding the fact that a school will be built here . No living complex. No Taco Bell. No warehouse. This guy uses emotional nuances speaking and phrases to manipulate you. Who could argue a new school for local children? Certainly not any of you who think this guys telling you the truth .

Anyone know when this is taking place ?

Didn’t know that Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence? Kidding....right?

Passed this house on a regular basis most of my life - really enjoyed seeing the interior and hearing the history of the home and the area. Thank you!

Mr Sherman you are not credible and you lie in this video.

I wish they would repurpose the main building.

Sad.

Very nice
