David and Linda Stuckert, who owned 117 Philadelphia Avenue before Niemczyk-Hoffman bought the building, visited the house near the end of June, 2026. Now residing in Indianapolis, Ind., the Stuckerts donated a signed book by John Updike, an envelope and note from Niemczyk-Hoffman, nine photographs, and an article written by their son, Matt. Updike visited his old house many times, and was always gracious about signing books. Below is a photo from his visit.
