More Photos > By CONSTANCE ROSENBLUM THE entrance to the building on Anderson Avenue at 167th Street in the Highbridge section of the Bronx looks like something out of Hansel and Gretel. Two small stone guardhouses with peaked roofs frame a landscaped courtyard, with a mulberry tree hung with bird feeders in the center. For Charles Wamble, an energetic 4-year-old who likes to play in this space, the courtyard is a magic kingdom and the guardhouses are miniature castles. And it would be no exaggeration to say that for Charles’s parents, Janna Baty and Doug Wamble, their three-bedroom two-bathroom apartment in this building is also a castle of sorts.
