TAYLOR STREET ARCHIVES
www.taylorstreetarchives.com
DEDICATION
Upon my return to Taylor Street, after decades of being
away to raise my family, I am reintroduced to everyone as
follows, “You remember Josie from Sheridan park…well
this is “Josie’s son.” When I won the raffle (a brand new
BMW car) at the Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii’s Annual
Summer Fest, the word that passed through the crowd and
the neighborhood was, “Josie’s son won the BMW.”
This site, the Taylor Street Archives, is dedicated to the
memory of all those Taylor Street mothers who nurtured
their Taylor Street children through a time and a place
unmatched by any other. My mother, Josephine (Esposito)
Romano, because of her position as the matron at Sheridan
Park, had the good fortune of also becoming the surrogate
mother for many of those who grew up in Taylor Street’s
“Little Italy.”…Vincent Romano
The Profiles of those strong willed mothers who nurtured
us through the great depression (and other, not so visible
obstacles of similar magnitude) will be found in these
archives under a variety of subgroups:
-Surname
-School (Goodrich, Dante, Skinner, Guardian Angel, etc)
-Street (Peoria, Bishop, Arthington, Polk, etc.),
-Church (Holy Guardian Angel, Notre Dame, St. Callisius,
etc)
-Summer Camp (Bowen Country Club, Duncan Y, etc.)
The profiles of their husbands and children will also be
contained in these archives.
