Germantown YWCA sheriff’s sale may (or may not) finally happen Tuesday
In bits and pieces, the remains of the defunct Germantown Settlement and its related entities continue to be sold off. Next up: The historic Germantown YWCA building at 5820-24 Germantown Ave., which is scheduled for a sheriff’s sale Tuesday.
The historic building, now damaged by several fires, is listed for a public sheriff’s sale at 10 a.m. Tuesday, to satisfy a $1.3 million first mortgage lien on the property currently held by the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority which loaned Germantown Settlement that same amount to buy the property in 2006.
