History of the Well at 188th Street and Leyden Avenue
Richard Hess Sr recalls the abandoned well site dating to 1881 when Tessman ran a tavern there. Horses tied outside while patrons drank inside the saloon. The property later changed hands to Christ Schmutzler who built a filling station, with the gas station later torn down before the war. Daniel C Bachmann recently bought the lot to landscape the grounds.
