A church and neighborhood in need
With the decline of industry in the area during the 1960s, the Buckeye Road area faced severe economic challenges. Nearby factories and foundries closed their doors; the retail district all but disappeared; and most Hungarian-American residents eventually moved to the suburbs. St. Elizabeth remains the last remnant of the neighborhood's once large and vibrant Hungarian population.
