*My grandfather’s name was Uriel Bergert, his uncle was Emanual Jacobsohn and was the person who set them up in the castle.

Hi! Thank you so much for the information – it was helpful! I am not from the Bronx and have never been – and this was a super helpful boost for learning about my grandfather’s experience in Kingsbridge. He immigrated to the US in 1920 – and his first residence was the Kingsbridge castle. I assume his relative set the family up there. He later operated the radio repair shop called Progress Radio until around 1953 when he sold it and retired for health reasons.  I did not know it opened in 1934 so that is new to me! I appreciate the help and look forward to sharing anything I learn.
