Amazing pics — fun to look through.
I know this house, and I’m sure he picked up most of his toys down the street in the Village. There used to be a wonderful old toy store a couple of blocks down before the Village became upscale.
I agree with the earlier posters that he wasn’t a hoarder, just a collector who got out of control!
110 years old? Wow! No wonder his pool was rank — It probably hasn’t been maintained in years.
I’ve been to that old toy store. That was a really cool place!
I think they still have the old 5 & dime in the Village, don’t they? Haven’t been there for a while.
I remember that store...World Toy & Gift or something? It was run by two older ladies, probably sisters, Jewish I think. I loved that store.
