For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Indeed a small world. My Aunt, Ann Hennessy, wrote a book “The Zieglers of Pigtown“ about my Grandmother and her 9 siblings growing up there. It has many memories of the bathhouse there and the children taking their weekly Saturday baths and doing their laundry there as they had no indoor plumbing. Another relative Lou Schuler ran the old feed store on Washington Blvd near Scoot Street. My great aunt Lillian operated a small convenience store out of her home at the corner of Cross and Callender street. She was a community activist in Pigtown and convinced Mayor Schaefer to build a tot lot there, prevent the City from building the expressway thru Pigtown, convert the abandoned bath house on Washington Blvd to a senior center and got Bon Secour Hospital to establish a health center there. Mayor Schaefer and her neighbors always addressed her as “Miss Lil”. |
