Former Blacksmith Shop

The building that now houses the popular BeanRunner Café was built around 1850. It was originally a blacksmith shop and a working blacksmith worked there through the 1950s. The attached building, with green clapboard, was a wagon repair shop. In the 1950s the two buildings were combined by Gordineer Hardware and made into one storefront. Gordineer Hardware sold the building to a hairnet manufacturer, which employed many Peekskill women until 1999.
