This house, with a large yard and shed in the rear, is located in what was a popular Italian neighborhood in the north end of Havre de Grace in the first half of the 1900s. A lot of Italians lived in a three to four block area, fondly called “Little Italy.” The Cianellis ran the Villa Roma store as well as some sub shops, and the Vincentis had the popular Blue Room on Erie Street, and Tillie had the coldest beer in town at “Tillie’s Chillies,” 715 Juniata Street. Another family that lived in this area was that of Sabatino Bungori, who had married Anna Maria Cucci. Born in 1916, their daughter, Edith Mary Bungori, moved into this house with her husband, John “Jack” Dry in 1963. Edith loved her Italian neighborhood surrounded by family and friends—holiday dinners and family gatherings were her happiest of times.

Edith and Jack Dry had bought the house in 1963 from another notable Harford County resident, Harry Joseph Goodrick, Sr. who had just become a lawyer and admitted to the Maryland Bar in 1960 when they lived here. His wife was Audree Goodrick. Harry later became an Associate Judge in the District Court of Maryland, Cecil County. After Jack Dry died, Edith Dry sold the home in 1972 to Robert E. and Renate B. Ezell and family. Robert Ezell had retired after 20 years in the Army, during which he was awarded a Bronze Star Medal for his service in Vietnam. The Ezells were active in their community and Robert Ezell loved raising roses and working in his half-acre garden behind this house. Golf, however, was his favorite pastime until his death in 2004.

Renate Ezell sold this home in 2017 to Eric C. Sneddon and Chelsea M. Nori.
