Over the next two decades the upper floors of 77 Ferry Street became one of the many places in the neighborhood that offered new immigrants temporary lodging. The two upper stories were rented out to a steady stream of Iberian boarders. The building that once housed well-to-do German and Italian families had become a port of entry for a wider range of displaced European men who had left homes and families behind to work hard in the hopes of a brighter future and to support their families back home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad9000d3c3a533a01c556c0/1573699763721-8UW1PTP7OAJEQKM2UFLQ/728A1161psd.jpg MompouIndex https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad9000d3c3a533a01c556c0/1578092396381-FQLVYSG083259VVPMBG9/1920s.png MompouIndex By the 1920s the Italian Castello Family had replaced the old tenants.
