From their website: "The Canal Tower’s location is rich in
history going as far back as October 1825 when the Erie Canal first opened.
Boats were pulled by mules along the 362 waterway from Albany to
Buffalo.
Schoen (Shane) Place was originally a lumber yard called Schoen Alley, located along the canal’s towpath. In the early 1900’s Joe and Charles Schoen constructed the Village Coal Tower using it for coal storage to service the boats on the Erie Canal and local residents. "
