She Left Behind A Piece Of History In Philadelphia
An American actress from Philadelphia married a British royal from Monaco and it wasn’t even part of a script she picked up in Hollywood, although it most certainly could have been another production filmed for the silver screen.
With such a crazy and wild ride, it makes sense that in 2012, Grace Kelly’s childhood home was turned into a Pennsylvania historic landmark. You can visit the home at 3901 Henry Avenue in the East Falls section of Philadelphia. The home was built by her own father in 1929 and was lived in by Kelly until 1950. It is also the location of the prince’s marriage proposal, adding even more historical significance to the home’s presence. The Kelly family sold the property in 1974, following the death of Grace’s mother, Margaret but it was repurchased by Grace’s son, Prince Albert of Monaco in October 2016.
