This is an example of a contractor working as he goes, no plan at all. This 'house' has at least 4 apartments in it, judging from the electrical meters. It's hard to tell how it might have originally looked, but the rear addition and pop up at the rear is obviously a latecomer to the party.
Ugly.
If that is 9th and Spring Garden, that used to be a convenience store on the first floor. If that is the one on the southwest corner, there was a big fire there in the late 1980's.

YES! it IS on 9th. thanks Alex for your help. I've only been here since '96 so I don't know the older history. the storefront explains the odd look of the place.

Here's what I don't understand: If it was in a bad fire, why didn't they change the building to be more pleasing on the eye?
