At its inception,
the credit union could not afford an office of its own, so John
Bartter's home on Ohio Street in Elyria served this purpose. In
January 1962, the office was moved to Room 317 in the Elyria
Savings and Trust Building for a $25 monthly rent. The credit
union had several “homes” over the years: the Baker Building,
the Spitzer Building and a former funeral home at 36 Lake
Avenue.
By August 1998,
SELCCU made its home in a new building at 340 Griswold Road. The
building, designed by local architect Joe Ferut, cost
approximately $2 million and has more than 16,000 square feet of
office space. The credit union occupies about 12,000 square feet
with the remaining to be developed for future expansion. In
1999, Seventh Generation honored the credit union at its annual
beautification awards dinner as one of the best new buildings in
Lorain County.
