Another piece of Seminole Heights history moves out.

Mr. Ralph Lazzara used to own and operate a produce market (Lazzara'a Courtesy Market) at Nebraska and Louisiana. He has lived in the neighborhood for a long, long,long time, since at least 1959 if not longer. Well, that part of our history has moved out has moved out of his house on 1001 E. Caracas into a nursing home. He is doing well there. But being 92 years old, his house was a bit too much.

How sad.

His wife Mary Tripolino died in 1999.

Here is their wedding photo from 1939.


There was an estate sale there this weekend. And it turns out the house is for sale.
2172 sf 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 2 car garage on 4 lots $550,000. The house on its two lots is $395,000. They plan to sell two of the neighboring lots for $89,000 each.

You can tell that when they had the house built in 1959, quality was not spared.

The lots are so nice, hopefully they will not sell piecemeal.
