    3. Hi, my first message got way too long but after I hit Send, I remembered one more thing. That is that my Dad worked at Bowman Field in the 1940's. He was an airplane mechanic. He said that sometimes they had to bury an old airplane. I asked why in the world would he have to do that?? He'd shrug and say, "Well, we had to put them somewhere!" with a grin. I don't remember it but he said he took us to work to show us off, my sis and I. I was very little he said.

    1. [KYJEFFER] Baby Grand Apartments near Brookline Ave.

    3. I am interested in the "Baby Grand Apartments" in South Louisville on Brook Pk Drive off Sixth Street and parallel to Brookline Ave. It is a few blocks west of Iroquois High School. The old duplexes were built about 1926 and was on the 1930 Census. In 1930, there was a female bookkeeper, a male accountant, a teacher, and a variety of middle class type workers. Wives stayed home mostly. The little street was originally a court and folks parked, if they had a car, on Sixth St. I don't know what names, if any, the apartments might have had in the years since 1930 but would so much love to know.
