My aunt and uncle lived in Duck's Hollow for years. My uncle's parents owned the house and when his dad died him and my aunt moved in to take care of his mother. I'm not sure if there were boarding houses there but since the Homestead Steel Mill was right across the river there may have been there. A lot of the mill workers that traveled to Homestead to work would rent apartments in the early days.
