In the mid twentieth century there were so many immigrants from Rocca d'Evandro living in Lawrence, Massachusetts, that they had their own men's social club, with a club-house on Chestnut Street, called "The Rocky Club."

According to http://suburbanpioneers.blogspot.com the Rocky Club which was located at 218 Chestnut Street and was founded sometime around 1917.

On July 5, 1992, The Rocky Club was destroyed by a fire caused when an abandoned house set ablaze next door. The club was able to regroup and rebuild the Rocky Club at 11 Trinity Street.
