Hardware manufacturer Francis Keil occupies all of No. 1060
Francis Keil, senior partner in the hardware firm Francis Keil & Son, was among the first owners on Clay Avenue and shared No. 1060 with his wife and his sister. The 1905 census shows they had no tenant in this two-family house. The family factory stood by the railroad at East 163rd Street east of Brook Avenue, a short walk away.
“One of the original owners on Clay Avenue was Francis Keil, who lived at No. 1060 with his wife and sister.”
