Some updated digz on exploded home in Philly
Police declined to identify the owner of the massive property. According to Montgomery County real estate records, Joseph Grasso, 57, and Donna Grasso, 52, sold the mansion to the GF 2014 limited partnership in 2016 for just under $4 million. The members of that partnership could not immediately be determined.
Joseph Grasso, active in the real estate and restaurants trades, could not be reached for comment. At one time, he owned the Saxbys coffee chain. Among his other projects was the now-closed Union Trust restaurant, a posh steakhouse on Chestnut Street in Center City.
In 2012, court records show, Russo filed for bankruptcy protection. The docket alone in the case takes up 245 pages.
A Peco [Exelon] account was registered with the now-destroyed home.
