Fred Stroppel 's Depot
Hotel located just a short walk north of the Glen
Cove Depot at 304 Glen Street,
Glen Cove. A true family owned business dating back for several
generations. My Great Great Grandfather, Fred
Stroppel, opened the bar. He passed it onto his son, Fred Stroppel, Jr.,
who in turn passed it to my Grandfather, Jack Stroppel. My Dad, FRed
Stroppel didn't want to assume ownership of the bar, so he and my
Grandfather closed it July 12, 1997. The location was a hotel, but only until around the 1940's
then after the family called it Stroppel's Tavern. The designer of the
sign didn't check with my Dad before painting it (putting "BAR"
instead), but we decided to go with anyway. It was around 4 ft by
6 ft., as we recall. However, the town didn't like it, as they indicated it was too
"garish" - apparently the bar never actually got a permit for it either,
so it eventually had to be taken down in the mid-80s. This was the only
time the bar had a large sign, as there was a small door sign, as most
folks in town knew the location of our establishment. Thus, the family
never bothered to try further signage again. Info: Joe Stroppel |
