Rock Creek Run Ads – Nov. 1960

Yesterday I wrote about some houses on Root Road in Lorain, built by the same builder, that seemed to symbolize the average, middle-class neighborhood of the 1950s.

Well, today’s post is about a 1960s housing development – Rock Creek Run, in Amherst – that aimed a little higher, and had wish fulfillment as its advertising theme. "Every Woman’s Dream... A Home in Rock Creek Run” is the headline for this pair of ads. The ad below ran in the Journal on November 5, 1960.

The second ad ran in the paper a few weeks later on November 14, 1960.

Gee, the woman in the illustration kind of reminds me of actress Dorothy Malone (who I’m familiar with from her many appearances in Westerns).

Anyway, the ad copy for the Rock Creek Run ads still rings true today, with the "winding roads, and wooded, rolling sites.” It’s still a charming area.

Best of all, it still has its original name and signage – 60 years later.

I first paid a visit to Rock Creek Run back on this post.
