Huge by Manhattan standards, the five-bedroom, 4.5-bath condo offers 4,200 square feet of living space. But it’s the location that truly sells the residence. It sits smack dab in the middle of the Upper East Side near all the great museums, fancy boutiques, and Central Park.

Hoping to save a long-neglected Black burial ground in Northeast Philly

But Deborah Gary knows where the tiny cemetery was and still is.

“It’s disturbing to know it’s here,” she said, pausing at a weedy tangle of woods between Benjamin Rush State Park and the back of a National Archives facility in Northeast Philadelphia.

“After I saw it for the first time in April of last year, I let our group know this is something we should take on and try to
