I started going through the memories wondering if I'd find my mothers apartment. My mom is from Zelie, but my grandma's family is from Ellwood. They moved my mom to Ellwood a few years ago so that she could be closer to family while she battled cancer. I grew up in Butler and didn't, and still don't know much about Ellwood. I've always wondered what the building used to be. I don't know much about the history, but it's been turned into two apartments. My moms front door is the silver door and ramp. Her apartment goes all the way to the back and the back door is our backdoor, the upstairs neighbors door and it goes to the basement. It's an interesting apartment. Kind of weird to think it used to be a store! I'm not sure where I could find out more about it's history, or maybe some old pictures of it but I'm going to try. Also, one of my Aunts lives at 213 Crescent Ave. It used to be The Flower Nook. She lived above the flower shop and closed it down a few years ago. She's since turned it into two apartments and rents the upstairs out to our younger family members. She told me one night that she found a letter in her attic about the house. She found out that the entire house had been moved from a few streets over. I call it the crooked house, nothing inside is straight and she laughs and tells me that a house that's been moved can't be expected to be straight. Any suggestions on where I could find out more about her home? Thank you and your site is great. Hello. I started going through the memories wondering if I’d find my mothers apartment.

I know her parents came to ellwood city from Sicily, but who knows the towns probably full of Rocco's. I just found this really interesting and coincedental.
