It's called PhillyHistory (www.phillyhistory.org). It is a online database of the Philadelphia City Archives (estimated 2 million photos; 50,000+ photos on line as of today). The photos can be searched by keywords, dates, etc. but most importantly by location. A GIS company built the software so all photos on the site have been gecoded. You can enter a precise address or just an intersection. You can buy the photos as well (you were mentioning your place). Can add to favorites, send to friends by email, etc. Pretty neat.

This could add real value to our shared historical knowledge. In short: pretty damn cool.
