Plans for Kelly Drive’s “Canoe House” are in the works
If you drive on Kelly Drive as much as I do, which is usually a few times a week, you have probably noticed a decrepit, Spanish style boat house along the river. Going towards Center City, it is on your right side (after you pass under the Strawberry Mansion Bridge); going towards NW Philadelphia, it’s on your left side (just before the bridge).
Over the last few years, I always look over at this building and wonder “When are they going to fix that place? There has been construction site fencing there for years. It’s a cool building, in a great location.”
