My father is 91 years old. In Skaneateles his family bought the Pump house and Tucker hardware store. After law school my father worked in Tucker hardware, which was owned by his father. In Syracuse, his father, the Judge Ben Wiles, also owned Tecumseh golf course. After graduating from Harvard Law school, my father worked at Tucker hardware store while my mother courted him (so the story is told). However, it was not long before he and his friends figured out that they should join the navy and control how they participated in World War II. Therefore, the law practice was postponed and Tucker hardware was sold.
Tucker Hardware was the tallest building on Genesee Street. Which building is that?

Tucker Hardware was started by my grandfather, George Tucker. He died in 1936.
The store was located across the street from the bank, I believe 2 doors down from the driveway down to the lake (facing the lake across Genesee St.
The store on the left of the driveway was Hahn’s Pharmacy, on the right was the Gregory Agency, then I believe Tucker Hardware.
Hope this helps.
