Sorry for the typos in my last post. Grandfather’s Optometry practice was on the Grand Concourse at the NE corner of Kingsbridge Rd. Right across from Poe Cottage in the Park. They lived diagonally across the park in the Poe Raven Apartments on the sw corner of Valentine and 192. Robert Hall was in the building on the Concourse to the ear of the apartment building. That area of the Bronx was a great place until they opened Co-Op city and the whites left. My grandmother stayed until 1978 when we moved her to Florida. Then the family sold the building, happy to get out.
