  To #2, no it doesn’t! “Circa” actually means approximately, about, around.

  This is the area where the first extension to 770 was built. (Circa 1960.) Until then, 770’s Shul consisted entirely of the “upstairs Zal”. At the right rear (past the visible area of this picture) was the original ambulance bay of this clinic. That area became the Frierdicke Rebbe’s library. On the right side at the front was a set of stairs leading from the outside to what is now “Gan Eden Hatachton”.

  The original “770” extension occupied this entire area. That is where the colored windows were at the back, and the large chandeliers hung.
