Gottfried Green

If I have the map right I think our 2 acres is part of the 30 acres that was Gottfried farm sitting on Gottfried 100 years ago. At the Link, The Sun-Herald printed a fond recollection from Fred Gottfried about being in Englewood in 1919. "She (Fred's mother) was not an enthusiastic visitor to Englewood. She was a city person who was content with her little circle of friends and relatives and the easy mobility of city life. Here she was limited to what few neighbors had occasion to stop by for a few minutes. She did not rebel, but she was not amused by the area." Hmmm, I wonder if I will share the feelings of Fred's mother when I think of Brooklyn.
