Turnback Tuesday is back! This week, we're looking at Celone’s Restaurant. Gerard C. Celone opened a business in 1934 called Celone’s Tavern at 106 Main St., Derby. In 1939, Charles Celone took over. It remained a Tavern until 1943 when it was renamed Celone’s Restaurant and was run by Mrs. Catherine J. Celone.
The business made it through the Flood of 1955 and continued to thrive until 1963 when the name changed to Club 78 Restaurant with a new owner.
This image was taken 8/20/1955 at 4 p.m. by Harold B Yudkin, a recent donation to the Library by the Yudkin family.
Thanks goes to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
