Muhammad Ali's boyhood home is almost ready for the world to see.Developers are nearly finished renovating the house as they collect and curate more artifacts for inside.The home at 3302 Grand Ave. will serve as a portal to the past for fans of the former heavyweight boxing champ.The intention is to learn more about what turned the man originally known as Cassius Clay into one of the world's most recognizable figures.“On any street or neighborhood in America, greatness can happen. It happens inside those four walls,” co-owner George Bochetto said.The man known as "The Greatest" once lived inside the vibrant pink house.The house has been renovated to remind people of the values that made Ali one of the most recognizable people in the world.Bochetto said his focus is the formative years before the world came to know Ali.“(We) bring you back to the 1950s,” Bochetto said. “See how he grew up, where his bedroom was, what his relationship was with his younger brother, the relationship he had with his parents, his loving mother, Odessa, which is why the house is pink because it was her favorite color.”Bochetto, a former Pennsylvania state boxing commissioner and Philadelphia lawyer, wanted to unearth the stories and childhood memories inside the home.The Ali house and the Montgomery home next door will take people back 70 years, when Clay lived there with his parents and brother.“This house a big part of how Muhammad grew up,” Bochetto said. “Rahman and Muhammad used to babysit for the daughters of the Montgomerys and walk over and babysit. The dad will tell you that when they got home, they had all their bologna missing from their refrigerator.”Friends and family like Robert Coleman have helped recapture the history.He's known Ali and his family since 1946.“Growing up with Ali was fun. Ali like you see him today was Ali then. It's the same person,” Coleman said. “Ali didn't play sports with us for real. He wasn't dying to play first or second base. (He was) mostly just in your way, so when he actually started fighting didn't take it seriously.”Furnishings, appliances and artwork are still being collected for parts of the house.In the family's rec room, three documentaries will offer a closer look at where Ali began his boxing dreams.“You are going to step into the home that Cassius Clay grew up in, it’s going to be exactly the way it was,” Bochetto said.The grand opening is set for May 1, with tours expected throughout the week.The Montgomery home next door will serve as a gift shop and welcome center.
