I have both the Philadelphia photo volumes and was > disappointed that neither had a picture of the building! ========================= My dad used to regularly stop Friday nights on the way home from work in Frankford and other places to our suburban home in Rockledge with decadently rich German butter cake, raisin cinnamon buns and other 'luxuries'. That Schillings was in Cheltenham, down the road from the Fox Chase area. The street names I don't know, but it was as I recall a one story addition(?) to the normal stone home there. It was on a residential corner but by maybe 1985 on a trip back home the building was vacant. What an era ended. Everybody in our family and neighborhood knew of the place. I would bet the building with its large glass window(s) is still there. Tom Clarke ocl-tom@ix.netcom.com 5-10-06
