Murello Built Homes Ad - June 28, 1958

While  researching the Neuman farm house move on late 1950s newspaper microfilm at the library, I'm finding all sorts of things of interest. It was a time of big change in Lorain, and a lot of builders were doing their share to grow the west side.

This ad for Murello Built Homes caught my eye, because of the clip art featuring the typical American family back then, right out of Father Knows Best. (I would have said Leave it to Beaver, but the Cleavers didn't have a daughter.)

Anthony and Gisele Murello owned and operated Murello Construction, and were the builders and owners of the Almadien Village Apartments on Tower Boulevard in Lorain.

The company's headquarters on Oberlin Avenue appears to be active and still handling leasing for Almadien Village.
