Hello List, I am still looking for the origin of the massive structure that I knew as "Palumbo Apts"..Michael Palumbo owned them in the 40's and his son Victor took over in the late 40's earl 50's. I know this place had to have been some kind of Hotel or something prior to the 30's, 40's and 50's. There were laundry shoots and dumb waiters that were close up and used as cabinet. There were stair cases that led to no where but locked doors to other apts. This place was not always apartments. There were huge floor to ceiling mirrors and the ceilings were 12ft, these mirrors were a chalk substance and painted with gold paint.they had a marble place on the lower end to sit things. I use to be afraid they were going to fall on me when I was young. Some of the buildings you could get from one entrance to the other but some were closed off. I would love to hear from anyone who lived here or has pictures of this area. I was very small when we moved there from the country and lived there until some time in my 7th year of school. I use to swim at Inwood Park and walk down town to the "Uptown" theatre on a regular basis. I would walk to the end of Ohio Ave and take the stairs down to Vine Street. Hoping someone can help with this. There were actually 2507, 2509, 2511, 2513 and 2515 as far as I can remember as addresses of these apartments. There was a gas station on the corner next to 2507 and there was a little grocery store at the end by 2515 and the roof of the store we would play on. Thanks in advance.

Hi Cindy - I can't help you with your current project as I lived out in Pleasant Ridge, We may be able to help each other on your Crawford ties. My Mother was Mildred Crawford and her family was from Deerfield, Warren County, Ohio /emigrated from Washington Co., Pennsylvania. Was your Father connected to Samuel Crawford or Oliver Crawford? I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Jack G.
