1977: THE GERTRUDE SIMPSON CENTER

Today it is the home of John Scarpati's magnificent Italian American organization. Formerly the home of the Colonial Volunteer Fire Company, this building on the corner of Liberty and Newkirk Avenue was given up when it was decided that the fire company had outgrown the building which was much to small to house the much larger contemporary fire fighting equipment. When the Baron Club scandal broke back in the 1970's, the property was acquired by Hamilton Township and it is the site of today's Hamilton Senior Citizen complex on Cypress Lane.
