Robert L. Moran
Robert Lawrence Moran (October 3, 1884 – August 19, 1954), was a Bronx politician who served as President of the Board of Alderman of New York City from 1918 to 1920, filling a vacancy left by Alfred E. Smith after Smith’s election as governor of New York. Nominated by the Democratic Party to succeed himself as board president, Moran faced Republican Representative Fiorello H. La Guardia in the election of 1919, losing by a plurality of 1,363 votes. Mr. Moran has the distinction of being the only citizen of The Bronx to ever exercise the authority of mayor of New York City, even though this honor came to him only in his capacity as acting mayor during Mayor Hylan’s absences from the city.〔THE THE BRONX AND ITS PEOPLE, Lewis Historical Publishing, 1927.〕

Moran was born on October 3, 1884 in Manhattan on East Twenty-First Street.〔R.L.

His father, a native of Greenwich Village was a member of the New York Parks Police Department, 21st Precinct, where he began as a gatekeeper in 1879, and was subsequently promoted to park-keeper on June 9, 1886, and eventually roundsman the following year. Moran retired as a sergeant on pension in March 1912,〔Police and Fire News. The New York Times, Mar 3, 1912: C-10.〕 dying not long after during the typhoid epidemic of 1912.〔 After Eugene’s death, the family moved to 1486 St. Lawrence Street in The Bronx. The family would later move to 1565 Leland Avenue in The Bronx, where Moran would reside until his death in 1954.〔
Robert Moran was raised in the Gashouse District and educated in the public schools of his native city.〔Id.〕 As a young man he attended Old P.S. 100 before leaving to take a factory job. He took real estate courses at the Young Men’s Christian Association and attended night school at New York University for two years. Moran entered the real estate business in The Bronx and among the many operations with which he was connected was the construction of the Theodore Roosevelt Apartments on the Grand Concourse.〔
