Look what I found! A photo from google maps of the home my mama grew up in! My grandparents rented this apartment from 1938 to 1976. They lived on the second floor. The balcony belonged to their unit but we were never allowed on it because it was already about 65 years old when I came along and it wasn't deemed safe anymore. We were allowed on the back porch though which was so small it basically fit 4 children on it. Ah - Amsterdam! - you are like a tiny jewel box!
