This Gothic-Inspired Philly Home Used to Be a Creepy Doctor’s Office in the 1940s | Home Tours

Step inside Adam Wallacavage's eclectic Philadelphia home—a masterpiece of art, design and history. Originally a doctor's office from the 1940s, the house was transformed into a unique blend of midcentury modern and Victorian aesthetics. Adam, a photographer turned chandelier maker, tore down walls and added his own opulent touches, including grand chandeliers, plaster moldings and vibrant decor. With a circus-themed kitchen filled with quirky art and bold colors, this home is a living sketchbook where creativity thrives. Join us for a tour of this constantly evolving artistic haven.

Wow, finally a home that is so unique and personal it makes my eyes light up. In a world of copy and paste vanilla content this is technicolor

So much creativity! And to secure that library room from a mansion, what a score! His style is so eclectic and fun. I like to see people who aren't afraid to be different. Go Adam!

What a beautiful place! I love the sense of experimentation and discovery, and I am so impressed he encouraged everyone to try and make things they love. The whole house resonates affection not just for objects, but for the richness and strangeness of life itself.
