I took these photos in 2012 -- has it changed since then?

Also of note IIRC there was some sort of barracks or public housing on the site before Siena place began. I recall seeing the low sloped roofs from the Schuylkill waaaaaaay back in the late 90s when I was a kid.
When I drove by the site yesterday, the land closest to the CSX viaduct was fenced, the ground appeared to be cleared, and there was signage denoting that there would be "townhomes in the low $400,000s" called Siena Place. I'll be traveling to Oregon Avenue from Delco in a few minutes, so I'll try to drive past the site and see if I can get pics.

UPDATE:

Here is what I found from my drive along Pattison earlier. I snapped this pic when I arrived at Pattison and Penrose:



Sorry for the crap quality. I had to use the zoom feature on my iPhone since the light was about to turn green!
