449 Hamilton Avenue, The Burg



449 Hamilton Avenue, The Burg.
Once upon a time this was the office of Doctor
Angelo Guglielmelli.
A nice looking house at the corner of Hamilton Avenue
and Division Street. Columbus Park across the street:)

often:)

What a coincidence that you mention the McGarigles. In 1910 they lived at 541 Second St. and in 1920 they were living at 545 Second St with my great grandmother. (The McGarigles were/are my cousins.)

Anyone remember the giant goldfish in the pond in Dr Guglielmelli's back yard???

Stepan, Amazing. I lived up the alley from the McGarigles (a few doors down from Dr "Googamelli" on Hamilton Ave.) This was in the early 1960s. I remember them. Really nice people. It's really odd what the internet can do, isn't it? Best, Ed Boyle

Dayton, Oh.

Noel, Yes I remember the garish fish pond. There were other fanciful arornments on Dr Googamelli's house too :)

Fyi... That alley actually had a name: Miami Alley. We played stick ball there using a Spaldeen. Anything in Rosie's yard was a ground rule double :)

They don't know what a Spaldeen is any more. Sad. Best, Ed Boyle

Ed Boyle,

Did you attend Immaculate and would you have graduated from ICS in 1964?

Hi Stephen. I went to ICS third (Mrs DeLia) thru sixth (Sr Calvaria) but then switched to Junior 2. I would have graduated in 1964. It is possible that you knew me or one of my many brothers and sisters who went to ICS also.

Ad Deum. Ed
