Delco Home of Week: McVickers Modernize Folcroft House
In Folcroft, the 432 Folcroft Ave home of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh McVicker has served as borough hub since 1940. A major February remodeling converted the first floor to borough use with a mayor’s office and conference room, while the second floor became a private living space. The mayor’s work room features a large window view among redesigned spaces.
