Take the left off of Nessley Avenue after climbing the switchback up from this city’s once-thriving downtown business district. For the next three blocks, you’ll find yourself on the brick-paved portion of Jefferson Street.

Despite the impact weather has had on the bricks, giving them a wavy appearance, it adds a unique charm and character to the street, which is lined almost exclusively with tidy midcentury red brick homes. That is with the exception of one stone home on the slope side of the street with an architectural style that sets it apart from the rest.

Built in 1940, it was the home of Michael and Maryann LaCivita. For the first 12 years of Chris LaCivita’s life, this neighborhood was his everything. It was where he and his four brothers were born. It was the neighborhood where he would go to school and church, deliver the newspaper, play football with the other children, and build a snow-shoveling business with his brothers.

This is the place that formed Chris LaCivita, who, along with Susie Wiles, led President Donald Trump‘s winning campaign last year.
