Why Park Versailles Access Control Is Mapes-Farm + Catholic-Protectory + Lincoln-Giants-Negro-League Heritage Scope
Park Versailles access control is uniquely 19th-century-Bronx-historical-anchor scope because it combines: 175-year MAPES FARM heritage (the original farmstead established by LEONARD MAPES IN 1851, named for Leonard and Mary Mapes who owned the large farm that included modern-day Parkchester, with their son John inheriting and rebranding the area Park Versailles to command higher auction prices — though the name never really caught on with locals who kept calling it the Mapes Farm, then revived in 1920 when the remaining 200 lots were auctioned) + 161-year NEW YORK CATHOLIC PROTECTORY heritage (which purchased a 114-acre parcel of the Mapes Farm in 1865 for $40,000 — the LARGEST CHILDCARE INSTITUTION IN THE COUNTRY, serving over 141,000 children from 1863 to 1939, conducted by the BROTHERS OF THE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS and the SISTERS OF CHARITY, where children were taught practical employable skills including bricklaying, baking, wheelwrighting, carpentry, blacksmithing, farming, gardening, electrical work, and the print shop bound books for several large publishing houses) + 100-year CATHOLIC PROTECTORY OVAL + NEW YORK LINCOLN GIANTS heritage (the Catholic Protectory Oval Field at the heart of the campus was home turf for the PROTECTORY EMERALDS amateur baseball team and — more significantly — the NEW YORK LINCOLN GIANTS, a NEGRO LEAGUE team who used the Oval as their home field throughout the 1920s, drawing thousands of spectators to The Bronx, with the Giants' last season in 1930).
