Lot 148


Circa 1880-85, this is a scarce mug-based soda with an early applied top, gravitating style hutch. Embossed: T. W. GALVIN / ROCHESTER / N.Y. // (six pointed star). The brewer's star was also a symbol of purity. Thomas Galvin was, I believe a soda bottler. "In 1887, Thomas W. Galvin, an Irish immigrant, bought one of the last undeveloped lots in the neighborhood, and moved his soda water factory from its downtown location, into a small building at the rear of the lot. The next year, he and his wife Nellie moved the family into the new house at the front of the lot. Both family and factory grew, but while an addition or two to the house was enough to keep up with the family (by 1900 there were 7 children, ranging in age from 3 to 19 â we count4 bedrooms and 2 common rooms upstairs), the business eventually was moved to a larger operation on Hudson Avenue.
