Rockville Centre Remembers Ruth Bader Ginsburg And House She Got Married In.

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A two story colonial in Rockville Centre holds special meaning to all of Dogwood Lane.

“It was the family home for two generations at least,” said Chloe Schiele in an interview with CBS2’s Jennifer McLogan.

When Shiele and her family bought the house, they learned it was in front of this home’s wood paneled fireplace where Ruth Bader and Martin Ginsburg exchanged vows.

“It’s special, it’s important for our family, for our children to know,” said Shiele.

On the future justice’s wedding day, her mother-in-law placed a pair of wax ear plugs in Ruth’s hand, telling her “in every good marriage it helps to be a little deaf.” Ruth Bader Ginsburg later said those wise words guided her through a successful marriage and life on the Supreme Court.

“The Ginsburgs, yeah they used to live here, they sold the house a number of years ago,” said Debbie Strum, a Rockville Centre homeowner. “They were lovely people. They were very friendly.”

Martin Ginsburg grew up here, attended South Side High School and often brought Ruth to visit Rockville Centre. She soon made a connection with a nearby Hofstra Law School student.'>>>
