Victorian Gothic on the 3900 Block of Spruce St.

Victorian Gothic, an eclectic architectural style of the late 19th century, is seen in this house at 3920–3922 Spruce St., opposite Penn’s West Campus. Willis G. Hale designed it for the developer William Weightman, ca. 1890. For more than 40 years, it has been home to the “House of Our Own” bookstore.
