~Tipperary Hill, sometimes known as Tipp Hill, is a district in the city of Syracuse, New York largely settled by immigrants from Ireland, especially from County Tipperary. It makes up half of Syracuse's Far Westside neighborhood.In the 1820s, when the Erie Canal first was built from Albany, New York to Buffalo, New York, the Irish were the chief laborers. Syracuse is about the middle of the route, the "hub" of the system. When the canal was finished many of the Irish settled west of Syracuse on a hill overlooking the canal. This area became known as Tipperary Hill.When the city first started to install traffic signal lights in the 1920s they put one at a major intersection on Tipperary Hill, on the corner of Tompkins Street and Milton Avenue. Some Irish youths, incensed that anyone would dare to put the "British" red above the "Irish" green, broke the light. The city replaced it but the Irish broke the replacement. After a few rounds of this the city decided that if they wanted a light at that intersection, they had better put the signal up inverted, and so they did!!!~
~The Stonethrower's Monument~The Stone Throwers monument was erected depicting a family in the 1930's,
where the father is telling the story of the light to his children.
This Leprechaun door is located right next to the regular folks door at the front entrance to Coleman's Authentic Irish Pub, located on famous Tipperary Hill in Syracuse, New York.
Peter Coleman, owner of Coleman's on Tipperary Hill, has applied to trademark the 15-inch leprechaun door at his 73-year-old Irish pub in Syracuse.If the trademark is approved by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Coleman's will be the only establishment in the country where leprechauns can get such a special amenity :)
