AccessibilityThis square is dedicated to four local brothers who fought in World War I. Fred, Charles, Joseph and William Ascenzi grew up with their sisters Clara, Lena and Mary nearby at 262 North Sixth Street. Only, Fred and Charles came home from the war Joseph was killed on July 7, 1918; and William’s name was released as a fatality on October 26, 1918. In their memory, the local American Legion Post 1204 was named the Ascenzi Post. At the urging of veterans to dedicate a site in Williamsburg to the brothers, the triangle was named Ascenzi Square in 1939.
