Ohio Valley Craft House

02/21/2026

Very sorry to hear the news of Bill “Maz”Mazeroski’s passing. The former Pirate, owner and namesake for Bill’s, will continue to maintain a presence in the Ohio Valley Craft House, upon reopening, thru the display of much of his memorabilia. He was a kind man who took the time to sign a game worn jersey, that hung in Bill’s from the early 80’s, and will be going back up on the wall. RIP Maz 🙏

I am in the process of seeking Historical designation for Bill’s Famous Rib’s, 510 Public Road Yorkville, Ohio. It is clearly a regional Landmark and has historical significance for the area. At this time there are no known buildings designated as Historic in Yorkville. The application process is competitive and tedious and there’s a high likelihood we will be declined. Nonetheless, we’re gonna give it a shot. I am seeking reliable information to provide to the State of Ohio in support of Bill’s historic designation. I have heard many stories. I know that it was previously owned by the Calabria’s and bore its namesake prior to being purchased by Bill Del Vecchio and Bill Mazeroski and named Bill’s Famous Ribs in the early 70’s. I understand the building was built and utilized as a bar on main floor, brothel upstairs and billiards and poker in basement back in its heyday, around 100 years ago. (Anyone know when the building was built?) I’ve heard it coined as an “Old Chicago” with mafia connections and a speakeasy during prohibition. Rumor has it someone was shot and killed in the basement and that Bob Moose, former Pirates pitcher was killed on his 29th birthday shortly after the conclusion of the 1976 baseball season after getting drunk at Bill’s. Although the media related the accident to bad weather conditions, the truth seems to have been swept under the rug. Bill Mazeroski was and is a local legend as was his partner Bill Del Vecchio. If anyone knows of a historian who might be informative or has knowledge you find relevant to Bill’s becoming designated as historical by the State and Federal government, we would appreciate it! Thanks in advance for your time in sharing. And if you want to share a story or two about Bill’s that doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with our pursuit of historic designation, We’d still like to hear it!
