Subject: Research: J Ruppert owner of knickerboker beer, looking for info


> Hello everybody, I am new to the list, and I am a Student
> of History at SUNY Potsdam. I have a question about a
> building in downtown Peekskill ny, which is about 40 miles
> north of NYC.  My family is purchasing this building, and I
> am trying to compile a history of the building.  I looked
> at old
> pictures of the building and one picture, dating around
> 1900, had the building with the name "J Ruppert" on it.
> Our local historian mentioned that J Ruppert settled in
> Garrison Ny, Just a couple miles north of us, and bought
> the NY Yankees at one time.  He also owned the
> knickerbocker beer company.  From what I have found Jacob
> SR owned the beer company until 1915 when Jacob JR took
> over.  THis means to me that SR had to have been involved
> with this building.  I was hoping someone had some
> infornmaion on this guy, and his company.  I wanted to know
> if this building could be in someway related to him, a
> branch of his brewery, or a store of his?. If nobody
> knows this I could also use some resources, so if anybody
> knows where I could get information like this that would
> also be very helpful.  Thanks in advance,  John
