'Extreme Makeover' Presents House Today
Inquirer photography by David Swanson Hundreds of people showed up to see the new home.
This afternoon, the Py family was presented with the keys to a great new house, thanks to ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Editionand legions of local volunteers. William and Carole Py and their grandkids sure fit the formula for show beneficiaries: Jose, Samantha and William lost their father to a brain aneurysm and their mother to breast cancer. Just last Friday a one-story house with three bedrooms stood at the site near Haldeman Avenue and Montour Street in the Northeast. Today, there's a new two-story house with four bedrooms, a backyard swimming pool, and, no doubt, all sorts of fanciful features and decorating schemes. The website of local ABC affiliate WPVI (Ch. 6) has video reports.
