1931-1934 / Public house and landmark
Bronx County Court House
The Bronx courthouse is the late witness. It appears after Charles's death and near the end of Frank's working life, showing that the firm name still had professional force.
Grand Concourse and 161st Street, Bronx
What this place asked the work to do.
The courthouse belongs to a different New York than the 1890 office: borough government, monumental civic planning, and Depression-era public building. The family story has moved from downtown plants to the Bronx civic landscape.
What it can carry
This can carry late-firm continuity into 1934 and a major civic building credit.
What remains careful
It should not be used as proof that Charles was still active; by then the partnership continued as a firm name after his death.

Scale is real, but itemization is a duty
Frank's printed professional summary gives the famous nine-hundred-building scale. Later papers keep the firm visible into the nineteen-twenties and thirties.

Why it changes the telling The family may feel the size of the life without pretending every building has already been named and proved.
How far it carries us The aggregate statement marks scale, not a list. Individual projects still need their own papers.
