436 Beatty Avenue
The last house on Beatty Avenue before you enter Ewing Park itself came out of the Montgomery Ward catalog. R. Arnold and Mary A. Young bought the empty lots from the Shelby Land Company in 1928 and reportedly ordered the house through the calalog. Though it is not the only house to come from a catalog in Ellwood City, it is reported to be the first in the area to arrive from a factory in pieces to be assembled. Before moving to Florida in 1960, Mr. Young owned the Pontiac dealership (Youngs Pontiac) on the corner of Sixth Street and Crescent Avenue as early as 1917. We have talked to a couple folks that still live in Ellwood City that remember the gas pumps out front of the dealership which was common during that time.
We have all walked by the beautiful house or even purchased raffle tickets in its yard during the Arts and Crafts Festival, but if you have any other memories of the house or the families that have lived here, please leave a comment below or email us your memories by CLICKING HERE.
