TJ's addresses written on back of 1913 NYPD Application

Since this is difficult to decipher, I will write out what I believe it says.
               "Years
from
1913-1914 920 Madison St
1912-1913 1027 Putnam Ave
1911 1912 446 Madison St
1910-1911 "   "  "
1909-1910- "   "     "
1908-1909 "  "  " 
1907-1908  "    "   "
1906-1907   1160 Fulton St
1905- 1907 Binghamton State Hospital
1904- 1906 Saint Joseph
          1905  Saint Joseph "

"seven years in city
Eight    "        "  state"

"at school 1892 to 1900
Resided in New York State since October 1906
"             "   "       "      City since May 1907

What I read from this information answers a question I always wondered about.   I always wondered how old was TJ when he left the farm in St. Joseph, Pa.  So I believe what he says here indicates that he left St. Joseph's and went to work at Binghamton State Hospital in Binghamton, NY in October 1906.  I doubt that he commuted from St. Joseph's to Binghamton State since it states that he lived in NY State since October 1906.  Seven months later, in May 1907, he moved to New York City and his first residence in NYC was at 1160 Fulton St.  I assume that is in Brooklyn???
Since TJ was born March 22, 1885, he was 22 years and 2 months when he moved to the NYC area.  I have no idea when his older brothers, John and Frank moved to NYC to become NYC Police Officers.  Does anyone in the family have this information?

TJ also wrote, "Wed Jan 28 1914 Took Phisical exam for Patrolman" He also has written in pencil "May 1907" and "Oct 15, 1906"
