David Lockard is, perhaps, the only person in Philadelphia whose home is featured on a postage stamp. Unfortunately for him, it feels about the size of one, too.
Lockard lives in one of Chestnut Hill’s modernist marvels, the Vanna Venturi house, which the United States Postal Service honored in 2005 for its an iconic mid-century design.
The idiosyncratic layout of the historically protected home led Lockard to propose building an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) — a technical term for a small additional residence on the lot or in a building zoned for a single-family home.
