I believe the street would have been and still is Cortland Park Avenue near Jerome Avenue.

According to this person, it appears on the federal census in Bronx County. (Hmmm, there was no Bronx County until 1914, as the Bronx Borough was within New York County until then.) What the person needs is the closest public grammar school to this address. What would the address equivalent be today?
