Last week, this column traced the early history of the Bristol Fountain from its first placement on the bridge near the Judson House to its removal to the City Park (West Avenue was called West Main Street until the early 1890s) in May, 1884. Although no longer at the busy intersection near Main and Cottage Streets, and no longer used as a horse trough, it still saw much activity being right across the street from the Erie Railroad passenger depot (later the International Railway Company station). However, by July, the fountain was stripped of its water pipes, the grass was trampled, and “other acts of vandalism committed.”

Back in 1884, when Lockport was one of New York's busiest cities, African-American businessman and local civil rights pioneer, Aaron Mossell, decided to build what at that time was called “the most modern hotel in all of its appointments in the city.” Most people are familiar with the fact that in the late 19th century, Mossell owned and operated a large brickyard on the site of what is now Aaron Mossell Junior High School, as well as being instrumental in the fight to integrate the Lockport schools.

Mossell entered the hotel business in partnership with two of his sons, the Rev. Charles Mossell and attorney Aaron Mossell, Jr.
