Is anyone familiar with 16th and Pulaski, the North Lawndale neighborhood, around the 1950's? I understand that a lot of Bohemian people lived in this neighborhood. My dad lived in this neighborhood as a young man; his mother is Bohemian. My dad told me that there was a strong Jewish presence. He loved this neighborhood, and he had many wonderful memories. I would like to learn more about this neighborhood during the late 1940's and 1950's.
My father passed away in 2008. I would love to read stories or see some pictures. I remember my dad telling me about a man named Mr. Modell. I think he was a pharmacist or store owner, but I'm not sure. Please help!

My great-grandfather was named Stanley Stekly. He owned a hardware store in the 1500 block of South Crawford Ave., which was later renamed Pulaski Rd. My grandmother, Dorothy, annotated a Google Maps image of that block, recalling her memories of growing up in Lawndale during the Great Depression. She lived in an apartment over that store until after WW II, when her husband returned from the Navy.
My third-generation Bohemian-American grandmother attended Jewish school for a time, as it was a majority Jewish neighborhood. She also went to a Lutheran school, and Bohemian school on the weekends. She also talked about taking the streetcar, and how her mother would drive along the streetcar tracks between streetcars, which was easier for her.
She mostly recalled it being pretty crowded and tough during the depression, but her father managed to keep the store through the hard times.

Frank,
I am very certain that she did! Wow, I would love to see pictures of that stuff, and my aunt and grandfather would, too. My grandmother passed in 2009. I still have a sheet-metal colander from the store I use every day. And I remember my brother having a 1/2-sheet newspaper insert from the old store with the 1940s prices on it, I'll see if we can't dig it up.
Thanks for the post, I will check out that thread now.

Frank,
Please tell me how to buy a copy of your book on North Lawndale. How I wish Dorothy had lived to see it. My aunt will be very excited.

Alan, my book isn't about North Lawndale, but about South Lawndale/Little Village. You can find it here:
http://www.amazon.com/Chicagos-Little-Village-Lawndale-Crawford-Publishing/dp/0738577375/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345181761&sr=8-1&keywords=frank+magallon
I have some pretty cool items from your great-grandfathers store. The first item, the ink blotter card, I just foud at a local antique store last month. I found one other item on e-bay, then the rest of the stuff I bought from a woman, maybe your aunt? Her Name was Marie D. Here are some recollections she wrote me about the store two years ago.
"[i]Yes, I know that area was Bohemian, my whole family is/was all Bohemian. My parents moved out of the city in 1951 before I was born, and my grandparents closed the hardware store in the mid to late 50’s and moved out to Cary, Il.
My great grandfather originally owned the business as more of a cutlery place, but when my Grandfather took over the business (his trade was as a tailor) it became more of a general hardware, the old kind where they have a bit of everything, from hammers, to pots and pans, and pyrex, and even fabric!!
My Aunt had a Novelty shop a little further north in that area, only for about 2 years in the mid 50’s. It was called Marie’s Novelties, I think she had ice cream also.
Sadly most of my relatives are gone now that would be able to tell you stories about those days.
I will look sometime after the holidays if I have anything else… but I’m afraid we lost a lot of things in a flood, so I don’t think there is much. It really is a shame that we lost what we did. I’ll see if we have a picture of the hardware store.[/i]"
Here are the items I have. There is one I forgot to take a picture of, it's a very cool paint catalouge from the 1930s with the store info printed on the front.
Ink Blotter card:
"Wet Paint" Sign:
This is really cool. This is a large fold out advertisment from the late 1920s. Look at those prices!
A "new old stock" give-away 1929 advertising calendar still in its original brown paper envelope.
The next items are probably my favorite. Marie found these two little program booklets from October and November 1939 for the small Grand Theatre which was one door down at 1525 S. Pulaski.

Marie is for sure my relative. I'm not in touch with her, but that is certainly my family. I'm pleased to hear that the items she sold you are in the hands of a collector who cares for them, partiularly one invested in the Chicago Bohemian-American community. Thanks for collecting these memories, particularly because, as Marie says, the folks from whom we learned about this place and time are leaving us.
My grandmother Dorothy loved to talk about visiting the Grand Theatre, though she didn't remember the name. Most of our conversations later in her life centered around the block at 1500 S. Crawford Ave.
There is a photo of Dorothy and her sisters in front of the hardware store, and if my aunt approves I'll get you a copy.

Alan, thank you for the nice comments. I was happy to get the items, and yes, they are in a good home. I am happy that you got to see them, maybe you can share this thread with other members of your family.
Oh, and I would LOVE to see the photo!

Alan, here are a few more pictures of items I can think of that I own from 15th & Pulaski in the Bohemian "Merigold" section of North Lawndale.
The first one is the 1930s era paint catalouge I mentioned from your great-grandfather's hardware store.
The next item I bought along time ago, it's a "new old stock" 1953 advertising calendar from Fred's Meat Market at 1537 S. Pulaski
The last photo is of two circa 1910 photo postcards from my collection, one of Joseph Nosek Funeral Home which was located at 1511 S. Pulaski, and the other for Charles Ladman Shoes at 1504 S. Pulaski. Both of these were also Bohemian businesses.
A couple of interesting notes. Joseph Nosek Funeral Home, Sokol Tabor Czech gymnastic organization, and many others from Merigold moved straight west to Berwyn when the neighborhood started showing signs of change. Nosek and Sokol Tabor are still operating and within a couple of blocks of each other on 16th St. in Berwyn to this day.
Another thing, the Stekly Hardware store building, Fred's Meats, Grand Theatre, and Joseph Nosek Funeral Home buildings are all still standing. The Charles Ladman shoe store building was torn down about three years ago. The reason I mention this is in a neighborhood where so much has been lost, it's a miricle that these ghosts of the past are even standing today.
Another interesting mention is that the old Nosek Funeral Home building has been continuously operating as a funeral home for over 100 years despite the neighborhoods drastic changes. It's now the Lenoir African American funeral home.

Thanks so much for sharing these photos and for the history. Especially for the picture of the building... I'd been thinking that the church down the street was the store! I appreciate you taking the time. If I come across any significant items from the store or attached to the neighborhood, I'll contact you.

I don't mean to dominate this thread, but I Googled the store's address and learned some things about the demography of North Lawndale today. Much of this is obvious, but seeing the numbers is striking. Most striking is the fact that the area within one mile of the address lost nearly 19 percent of its population from 1990-2012. North Lawndale is emptying out. And WHO is the one person living within one mile of this address making more than $500,000 a year?
