No visit to Philadelphia is complete for me without a visit to the former home of George Gordon Meade. The general -- who booted the Army of Northern Virginia from The Great State of Pennsylvania in 1863 -- lived at 1836 Delancey Place from 1866
until his death in 1872. Some of the city's leading citizens lived in the tony
neighborhood near Rittenhouse Square. Meade's former home has been divided into apartments -- here are units
2 and
4. Probably at least 2 grand a month. For those who can afford that, oh my, what a cool place to live.
