Guy Lombardo’s East Point House was located at the foot of South Grove Street (now Guy Lombardo Avenue).
Guy Lombardo (1902-1977) purchased Liota's East Point House from John Liota in 1948 and renamed it. Lombardo was a bandleader famous for his New Year's Eve performances of Auld Lang Syne with his band the Royal Canadians. Lombardo was born Gaetano Alberto Lombardo in London, Ontario. His father immigrated to Canada from Italy.
In 1978, South Grove Street was renamed Guy Lombardo Avenue and the Long Creek Marina was dedicated as the Guy Lombardo Marina.
