My grandfather's brother (Ira Wilson Anderson) lived there in October 8, 1873. It listed him as a porter. He worked for B Williams of 78 Madison Avenue. His father was Clinton B Luck and his mother was Sally Anderson....Would greatly appreciate any information of the era. All this information is new to our family. My mother's father was Henry Anderson.
