It was a handsome three-story home. See photo on page 13 of PICTURESQUE ELYRIA, 1903. This was not a home for indigent people as the Lorain Co. I have 807 W. Ave. as last address of Alice Elliott LIPPY in 1936, I believe from a City directory. She died at Elyria Home for Aged (death certificate), same address, which is also same address now given for ELYRIA UNITED METHODIST VILLAGE. So what I'm trying to nail down is: would they have retained the old records? Sarah
