Philly's Signature Architectural Styles

Philly's skyline has everything from the oldest residential homes in the country on Elfreth's Alley to the skyscrapers in Center City to the twin houses of West Philly. Philly's architecture tells stories about its history — if you know where to look. Host Trenae Nuri talks with Chris Hytha, a Philly artist who has been studying and documenting Philly's built world, about the city's most iconic architecture and how to appreciate it. Also, he's rehabbing a rowhome from the 1800s and learning why you never waive inspections.
