I lived in the main building on castle hill ave from around 1959-1965. I have such wonderful memories of the castle hill beach club, my public school on pugsly Ave (PS138?), a McCrory's store across the street, and watching my older brother playing handball on the courts. We attended St. John Vianny Catholic Church. Your project & pics are so beautifully done. Thank you for reconnecting me with such meaningful memories of my youth & the fascinating historical info. Do you happen to know the address of that main building? Is it 635?
