A little piece of Ellwood City

The old place

Red Hot Restaurant has served Ellwood City since 1970. The color restoration is shown as a modern interpretation beside the original source photograph—not as untouched period artwork.

The historic ad identifies the former location at the corner of 5th St., Bridge & Wampum Ave. Its 30¢ price and pictured hours are historical, not current.
