At one point, Rogow shared her space with Bryan Kravitz,
who ran his store, Philly Typewriter, in the building. When he
moved to a new location in South Philadelphia, Rogow decided
to open up a typewriter shop of her own to fill the newly found
vacancy in the vicinity.

“Coming out of the museum field, of course I have an appre-
ciation for industrial design. Each of these machines is made of
hundreds of parts,” Rogow said. “It’s a relic. It’s got that vintage,
historical part that appeals to me.”
Jennifer Kinka is the owner of The Nesting House, a children’s
boutique located on the same street. This week, the community gar-
den on Rogow’s property opened, another example of her impact on
the area. Kinka described her neighbor as generous and community-
oriented, with her shop being right at home in Mt. Airy.

“I appreciate the vision,” Kinka said. “It fits in with the idea
that people in this neighborhood appreciate things that are
timeless.” Today, the grandmother of two is in her 60s and enjoys
visiting with her customer base, which she described as mainly
hipsters, poets and the nostalgic.

“Some of them [buy typewriters] for the look and the style,
but a lot of them because they are tuned into analog and a tactile
experience and have an appreciation for style as well,” Rogow
said. “More care often goes into writing when you don’t have to
say, ‘Well, I can cut and paste later, I can delete later, I can post-
pone critical thinking.’ And this machine, every single stroke
matters. You really have to concentrate.” l
