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.
