695 East Gun Hill Road
Post
Elevated tracks of the IRT Third Avenue and White Plains Road lines converge at the Gun Hill Road station, May 12, 1938. In 1920, the Third Avenue El was extended from Bronx Park Terminal to Gun Hill Road, where the line terminated at a lower platform of the White Plains Road Line (today’s 2/5) Gun Hill Road Station. Third Avenue El service in the Bronx was discontinued in 1973, 18 years after the line’s Manhattan tracks were dismantled. The auto repair shop at left, at the corner of Willett Avenue, is No. 695 East Gun Hill Road.
Loyal Order of Moose, Lodge No. 1596
Post
Williamsbridge Lodge No. 1596, Loyal Order of Moose, November 11, 1932. The Loyal Order of Moose, a fraternal organization, was founded in 1888, in Louisville, Kentucky. The organization counts four former US Presidents among its ranks, including New Yorkers Franklin D. and Theodore Roosevelt. The building appears as a YMCA branch as late as 1918, but fundraising appeals published in the Mount Vernon Daily Argus indicate that its status was precarious. In the same newspaper, mentions of the Moose Lodge at that location begin in the early 1930s.
