Francis [Wilson] built a big home on Ampersand Avenue in about 1928, but later during the depression when many families fell upon hard times, [he] remodeled the home into a bar and grill with the living quarters remaining upstairs. He also built a couple of cottages adjacent to the house. That was sold about 1948 after her father and brother died and it became Schroeter's although the Hennessey name was retained, for a couple of years until the transition was familiar.
[There was an] elevated electric train set that ran around the wall of the bar.
