Thomas became enamored with the house, and the Black art scene that once thrived there, while she was living nearby and studying the Philadelphia Housing Authority’s renewal plan for the Sharswood area.

The sale of the property was approved by the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority a few years ago, opening it up for competitive bids as an adaptive reuse project.
