I just got back from Portland OR so I figured I will add a different View and see if anyone has an idea about the mystery house.
I guess from this report, the author stated there was a platform at the Mosholu overpass. Also inside the park, at Mosholu Avenue, this was a minor station on the Getty Square branch that was gone well before the closing of the line. Walk in from Broadway along Mosholu Avenue to the site. The branch was on an embankment, and the stone abutments of its now-missing bridge over the street are easily found, but there is no trace of a station.
I do not believe there was a MOSHULU Station on the Old Put. There was VC, Caryl, Loweree & Park Hill and Yonkers
This image is a 1927 postcard from my collection of the Grocery Store, which was part of the Amalgamated Cooperative. I am not sure if their store was located at 50 Van Cortlandt Avenue West at any time.
The U.S. post service building at 5517 Broadway in Kingsbridge, Bronx was sold on September 6th, 2017 for $7,000,000. The sale was recorded on September 13th, 2017. 5517 is the address for one of the two buildings. I do not know if the Post Office will have to move again soon, but I do not see any details about the post office status.
Dear Mr. Baker, ??
I am hoping it makes the October issue of Excelsior! it is the publication of the Empire State Postal History Society. I will post it also on this web page if agreed to with the Kingsbridge Historical Society.
Dear Dana,
Of course, please share. I have attached a listing of Bronx Bottles ( Beer, Soda, Medical ) that I donated to the Huntington Free Library & Reading Room at 9 Westchester Square Bronx NY 10461. The letters next to the name was for a guide I put together for the glass display cabinets.
