   Does anyone recognize the house that This Old House offers as an example of the neighborhood. I think it is a stock photo and not actually in the neighborhood.

   Brad #2, no I don’t recognize it but it shouldn’t be hard to figure out where it is, provided it’s really in the neighborhood, since the house number clearly shows up as 323. That would put it on a north/south street between Broad and Marshall, if in fact it’s here at all.

   That house is actually a house in Petersburg – Folly Castle – at 323 W. Washington St. What a shame they couldn’t have actually come to Church Hill to take a real picture of us!

   The article continued, “We hope to give Church Hill an even higher rating next year. This is, of course, dependent on whether or not residents can find a way to escape the mortal perils associated with living in one of the country’s most dangerous neighborhoods.”
