Through the efforts of Gus Villapiano and Thomas Shebell, Sr., the president of the Asbury Park New York Transit company, James Rollo, became interested in the establishment of a new boys home. Mr. Rollo purchased a land lot at 1201 Monroe Ave. for the new facility and contributed $35,000.00 toward the building cost. Construction began soon after, and the new Clubhouse was opened on July 29, 1952.
