Black housing. There is a black sailor on the playground. Segregation was in full effect during the war, even in the North.
Comments: Torn down in 2007 and replaced by Nat Turner Park.
Felix Fuld was Louis Bambinger's sister's husband. Together they owned Bambinger's, THE New Jersey department store.
