O. A. Hafely Ad – August 23, 1930
Here's an ad for O. A. Hafely Home Building & Financing that ran in the newspaper on August 23, 1930. The ad announces a new office that was opening at 1815 Oberlin Avenue.
I was a little surprised to see this ad, since I mainly associate Hafely built homes on the east side of Lorain. I lived in one myself back in the late 1980s on Nebraska Avenue.
I've blogged about O. A. Hafely before, including posting this 1969 article that included an interview with the man himself.
So is the little building shown in the ad still there on Oberlin Avenue? Sure, it is!
I wonder if the people living in it are aware of its connection with a company that helped transform Lorain?
