It was a school, P.S. 52, I attended it in 1958. It’s opposite Cumming St. and Broadway.

The building on 204th Street and Broadway (opposite Cumming) was a school, P.S. 52. I attended part of the 7th grade there in 1958. We then moved to NJ in late December, 1958. Born in Washington Heights in 1946 and lived in Inwood Park until we moved. We also saw movies at the Dale and RKO Marble Hill in the Bronx, the Alpine and Loew’s Inwood Theater on 207th Street, the theater in Riverdale and another movie theater on I believe 200th Street down near the El. TV didn’t work well so went to movies (matinees mostly with a matron posted to watch the kids) every week for as little as 25 cents – 35 cents.
