Wessells Building

Paul Wessells was a Peekskill Civil War veteran who served with the 6th Heavy Artillery regiment. In this building he operated the “Excelsior Bakery and Ice Cream Saloon,” that offered breads, pies, cakes, and candies through the late 1800s. Mr. Wessells bottled soda water in his own inscribed bottle.
