The following is from Barbara Levow:
Irving Levow was my uncle. He was born and raised on the the Lower East Side of New York City and was one of five children---Ruth, Julia, Henry and unknown. His father was a barber who died in the 1918 flu epidemic, and his mother, Lillian, ran a fruit store on East 8th Street and Ave B. He was what you would call a street kid hanging out in Buck's Pool Hall and, in the 1920's riding a motorcycle.
He then moved to Bryant Avenue in the B (showing 500 of 764 characters). |
