House at 12 Bridge Street, Greenwich, NY, was my birthplace and the last home of my grandparents, Charles & Ida Mae Robinson. It was also the home of my parents, Charles & Mary Robinson, in the 1930s until the death of Ida Mae. The house, built prior to the Civil War, was used as a waystop on the underground railroad, with rooms in the cellar for slaves escaping to Canada. It was located on the Battenkill (river) where slaves could be landed by boat. A tunnel ran from the river to the cellar.
