It was set back from the road a bit, but was a lovely building. I remember it well into the 50's and maybe even the 60's used for offices?<br />Lakeside GirlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-68867884234218993732010-06-10T16:43:07.417-04:002010-06-10T16:43:07.417-04:00This was across from us on south

It was<br />eventually torn down as it was always vacant in my Burg day.<br /><br />As for the Burg borders..<br />seems everyone has different ones.<br />I made my Burg borders large for the blog but mine cut off north<br />of Hamilton Avenue as that was a<br />different neighborhood by the time<br />of my Burg day...but i can see by<br />the city directories of 57 and 63<br />that it was once VERY Italian and<br />thus may have been part of the<br />Burg in spirit. Also, plenty of <br />folks from Villa Park, Franklin <br />Park, and South Trenton were in<br />the Burg everyday or often and <br />can claim to have been part of<br />the Burg. From where we were on<br />Liberty Street Creccos was 2 and<br />half blocks away and Rossis was<br />4 blocks, if our part of Liberty<br />Street was not the Burg, what was<br />it? But whatever borders folks<br />want are fine. God Bless The Ole<br />Burg:)Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392109543447996982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-31026893942330327922010-06-10T12:43:45.411-04:002010-06-10T12:43:45.411-04:00Tom: This hospital was where my wife was run down...Tom: This hospital was where my wife was run down by a motorcycle on Halloween Night in the late 20s. She was crossing the street and had to have half of her foot amputated that got caught in the wheel. She pulled through fine and learned to endure the handicap. I don't think the hospital was there for any log period. Regards.Ralph Lucarellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06710107087683397946noreply@blogger.com
