Nearly 80 years ago in the depths of the Great Depression, almost one-third of all Cleveland residents were unemployed or underemployed.
To keep the dream of home ownership alive, Ben S. Stefanski and his wife, Gerome, applied for a federal charter to create a savings and loan association in the vicinity of East 70th Street and Broadway Avenue. In fact, the Stefanskis were so committed to the idea that they applied for the charter on their honeymoon.
With the initial $50,000 in capital provided by members of the Slavic Village neighborhood, Third Federal Savings and Loan Association opened its first office on Broadway Avenue on May 7, 1938.
Beyond organic growth and expansion, much of Third Federal has remained the same, with its headquarters housed in the Slavic Village neighborhood and with a member of the Stefanski family serving as the Bank’s President and CEO.
