- Thank you for walking along with me. Today we will explore the
public garden behind the Philadelphia Museum of Art and stroll
around the grand Federal Mansion on Lemon Hill in Fairmount
Park. We cap our walk off with massive examples of Art Deco
industrial buildings and I have arrived safely at my home. I am
glad you came along.

My interest is buying and selling antiques and vintage items
mostly from the 1920's into the mid 1960's. Thank you for watching.

Love the tour! Thank you again for broadcasting. Philadelphia is fabulous!
Thanks for taking us on that great walk with you! I really enjoyed it on a Sunday! Beautiful foliage and buildings!
I am enjoying these walks so much. I spent the first eight years of my life and visited there for many years. I’ve never seen many of these beautiful places. Gives me a new appreciation for the birthplace of my father and his siblings.
I loved the walk about.Thanks😎
Thank you for the lovely walk. You live in a beautiful area. If it were not for you showing me this, I would not have had the pleasure of experiencing it. Thank you Scott.
You are very welcome.
Thanks so much for the tour Scott! Very enjoyable. Since I've not been to Philadelphia, it was great seeing all this. Have a great weekend!
LOve these tours
I will be visiting your city as soon as we get the all clear. You did a great job showing the beautiful place that it is. Thank you❤️
Beautiful
Thanks for the stroll.....
Thank you for the tour!
I loved the walk through park! 🌿🌺🏫
Absolutely liked this video. Will be sure to stop by Fairmont Park on our next trip to Philadelphia. Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting tour, a much welcome distraction to our new normal.
Lovely tour!
Thank you Scott. Beautiful tour.
Very nice stroll Scott. The St Xavier Church is beautiful ❣️❣️❣️
Scott, Thanks for taking us in a new direction and sharing views of your "walkabouts"...
More to come!
That was a fun field trip. I like it when you narrate, it's like I have my own personal tour guide. I like to know what I'm looking at and get a bit of a back story. That art deco/gothic (two of my favorite styles BTW) is a show stopper. I believe it may have caused a bit of detached retina for me! I look forward to our next outing.
I've never been further east than Cleveland. Thanks for the tours of fabulous Philadelphia.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Too bad I cannot be there.Wonderful
Good evening Scott ❤ the only vacation we are gonna get and it was wonderful. Thank you
Hope you enjoy it!
I was like you wondering what history those trees would have seen. That building is massive!! So eerie to see the garden without people. That video may become rare. :)
I'd love to see the inside of the church
This is AMAZING! Thank you! It's been so long. When I lived in D.C., I used to love visiting Philadelphia. I miss it...
Glad you enjoyed it!
No litter,so clean.Street lamps like the Lionel train set.All stunning.
Once again, I thank-you for this mini-vacation.---As you panned that mansion on Lemon Hill, I had a mental image of a servant beating a carpet during spring cleaning!---My guess at the garden urn...a failed attempt to grow a lemon tree, to mark Lemon Hill!
Hi Scott, nice trip! 💚🌻💚🌻💚🌻💚🌻💚🌻

Thank you Mr. Scott. I bet you can't wait till this pandemic is over, so you can go shopping again. If wishes were horses, we would all ride. Have a great day Scott and Salem. 💜💜💜💜💜💜🍄🍄🍄💜💜💜💜💜💜🍄🍄🍄💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🍄🍄🍄💜💜💜💜💜💜🍄🍄🍄💜💜💜💜💜💜🍄🍄🍄💜💜💜💜💜💜🍄🍄🍄💜💜💜💜💜🍄🍄🍄
I absolutely love your tours, thank you for thinking of us and taking us along. ❤️💪 is that thing a planter or a sewer top 🤷🏿♂️ wild guesses 🤣
So beautiful!! I can not get enough of old architecture!! Even as a little girl walking around Center City the old buildings always amazed me!! Thank you again Scott for taking us around our beautiful city!
Glad you enjoyed it
This was I soooo beautiful and relaxing. You are made for this Scott. Really really good videoing and editing. Your voice is calming to listen to and I love learning listening to how knowledgable you are. Does that make sence? 🤔😄
Wow, thank you!
I love being able to see places I've never been the trees are so pretty with all the green leaves and flowering trees also thank you for sharing with us!!!
Scott, Loved the video! Do you ever walk by those mansions and wonder what it would be like to live there? I always say, " well, we're home kids!" I probably really confused them when they were small! Here in Pittsburgh we have some royalty homes from the likes of Heinz and Frick and Carnegie. (big dreamy old mansions)In our part of the state too old warehouses have become luxury lofts. Love to see your side. The townhouses really speak Philly to me and you really show off your city well! Your love of antiques and Philadelphia's charming neighborhoods go together.
The Puma favors salem😮 that's some wonderful architectural buildings! As always TFS Scott ♡
Absolutely beautiful Azalea bushes....truly gorgeous! If I lived in that lovely old city I would walk myself silly!! Thank you so much for sharing your town with us Scott. Wish your Mum a Happy Mother's Day from the Mum of another Scott in Michigan~
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Scott for another enjoyable jaunt around Philly...that was a first for me to see the Boat houses from thier side of the river....I had been to the Art Museum but not the surrounding area/park...ver y lovely. And that Art Deco building...wow...what was the original use/company that occupied it?
I believe the original company had something to do with news printing. I need to dig a little deeper into it's history!
@@oldcuriosityshop265 Thanks, that seems to fit as manufaturing wouldn't fit this majestic building....I can't wait to see what you find out.
You live in a beautiful location....awwww the park, the flowering trees, azaleas, nature in the heart of the city.....and the architecture ...oh my.....How much fun you must have...not to mention the great thrift and antique shops to tootle through....what a life you have...🌻
That's exactly where I would love to be now, maybe someday....very relaxing and beautiful, oh! and that beautiful 1930's building at the end....I would definitely love to go see it. One more place to add to my "bucket list"
I love the Art Deco building at the end! It’s huge. I would like to go inside. Philadelphia is a very interesting and pretty city!
What a beautiful day for a walk. I love cats , large and small TFS
I absolutely love the old churches and architecture. I would love to go there and visit! You could be my tour guide with all of your knowledge of the different areas 😊
they really built quality stone and brick buildings back then...too bad they don't put as much care in current buildings...I think batman would live in the tower of the gothic art deco building...thanks for sharing
I love the mansion! I look forward to seeing the interior of these places when things open back up.
I believe that beautiful urn had an evergreen planted in it. I’m thinking a conifer. My childhood town had those Victorian homes everywhere! Our house was once used as president Lincoln’s meeting house when he was speaking through Illinois. The rock he stood on was across the street with a plaque. Thank you! I’ve never seen an Art Deco building in any town! 👍
Wow! You combined some of my favorite things all in one video...nature, history and architecture! We have quite a bit of Art Deco architecture here in Tulsa. My sister lives a few houses down from Frank Lloyd Wright home. One if my favorite things to do when I travel is to drive around the older neighborhoods and see all the buildings and homes of various styles. Thank you for sharing these parts of Philidelphia and their history!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love getting to venture around the city during these videos. I really appreciate you doing this for us ! Thanks, Scott.
What a gorgeous day for a journey! Fascinating architecture! As always...thanks for taking us along!
This was lovely, especially the public garden, thank you Scott!
I hope I get to see it in person someday!!
Scott there's so much to see in your beloved Philadelphia. It's so nice to see historical buildings standing tall. Thanks for our virtual tour. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!!!
My pleasure!
Wonderful video and tour! Beautiful gardens and architecture. Thank you for the special treat!
Philadelphia city of “Brotherly Love.” Thanks Scott for sharing these walks and your love and appreciation of your city. I hope you realize, we are all indebted to you for these special glimpses of “Philly.” Now I am just psyched for getting my hands on a cheesesteak.
My pleasure!
This was such a delightful and beautiful outing. Thank you so much for taking us along with you on your walk.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow!!!! Scott what a beautiful garden!!! Thanks for sharing this video. As I am hunkered down in the HOT Phoenix area I'm just a little jellin lol. Yep no would be having a pick nick right there in the grade surrounded by the flowers and baskin in the sunlight (which would not get you to a crisp). Lol
So green and pretty. We live in the Mojave Desert which is beautiful in it’s own way but to see lush vegetation is such a nice change. Thank you for taking me on this stroll.
Thank you Scott for continuing your tour of your city....You are very talented with the camera and you have such knowledge of your surroundings. Of course, this would be much harder to do when the parks are more populated.
Think that's a Big Urn for greenery
Hi
an over sized planter? P.S. it was warm and stuffy here last week, cooler this week, with some rain here and there. thank you for the tour...a park with trees and shrubs and flowers, oh my!
I can't get over the different world you're in compared to mine! I have to ask, where do you park your car?
Ha well parking is fun! I have a few options. I can leave my car in Jersey and just take the train over when every I need to use the car. Or I can pay about $230 a month to park it in a regular designated spot in a lot. Or with a parking permit I can pay 30 bucks a year and park on the street in designated areas on certain blocks. Hey it's city live and it's all I know. Thanks for asking.
I think it's intriguing! I have a huge driveway! When I moved here we rented the largest U-Haul truck and trailer you could get and I still had room in this driveway. So that's why that was the first thing I thought about! Hey! If you ever have trouble finding a place to park, you can use my driveway in Oregon anytime. What are friends for?
That yellow mansion is gorgeous. I bet the inside is amazing also. I would love to know what went on inside back in the day. The grand ole parties and such. It looks like it could have been a grand water fountain. Yes, such a beautiful church. Not for me, I'll take a small home out in the country with a farm any day.
Lovely garden. Could the figural ornament be a well?
The City of Philadelphia is going to have to give you an award for all the good promotion you're giving it! This was another wonderful trip. I do hope you are able to go back and take those mansion tours and are able to take us along. There's a fellow who lives in St. Louis who has taken similar tours there but a lot of them won't let him film the insides. He can take photographs, but no videos. I can't understand why. Anyway, I'd love to see the insides. Thanks again for another great video!
Just wonderful! Thanks for the lovely walk in your city. I have always loved parks and Art Deco-before I realized what Art Deco was! We have many gorgeous Art Deco buildings here in Cincinnati as well!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Philly is a great city. Have you ever been to the Magic Gardens?
YES!
This was wonderful! I love cities: the spaces, the architecture, the sounds. That deco/gothic building was amazing. It had a haunting almost futuristic vibe. I especially love industrial areas. They have a sublime beauty. Were you born a City Cat, Scott? Or do you have a little Country Cat in you as well ? 😻
Thank you for the tour! Our parks are still all closed☹️. It was so nice watching! It is supposed to get down to freezing tonight, here in the St.Louis metro area.
Yes our state parks are closed as well. I was glad to see the gardens behind the art museum were still open for exercise and walking.
The Puma, aka Salem on Steroids! Beautiful grounds, homes and architecture. Great video as always, thanks for another enjoyable tour Scott!
Also love that Puma statue. I was wonder who the artist was which I said out loud...and then up posted a screen shot of the information of the artist lol I just love art and would just enjoy a visit to your Philly art museum.💜😊
If you mixed Gothic and Art Deco together would you get Geco?
What a beautiful place would love to see inside the Mansion those trees are great
Beautiful old buildings..loved the church
