St Joseph's Home was an orphanage run by nuns and was located at Englewood Cliffs until 1956. At that time the children and nuns were re-located to the new St Joseph's in Rockleigh on Piermont Raod. That property is now a Bergen County-run facility, probably for the last fifteen years.
My dad was in St Joseph's along with hundreds of other boys, from 1924 thru 1934. He spoke of swimming at Bloomers Beach in the Hudson River and watching as they built the GWB from 1927 thru 1931.
