On Christmas Eve1981, seventeen year old Claire Duggan made good on the threat she made to her fourteenyear old sister Susan. With paint and brush in hand she painted Susan is a pinhead on

the wall at the rear of the Amtrack stations parking lot in downtown Schenectady. Claire and

Susan had always called each other pinhead. The playful insult remained on the wall, when it was even-

tually painted over, the words, Susan is still a pinhead appeared. When they were

erased, Susan remains to be a pinhead appeared. Claire takes credit only for the original graffiti. No one

knows who returned the message to the wall each time. For over a decade, the words

calling Susan is a pinhead remained. In 1996, as the city of Schenectady strove to revitalize, they

painted the wall with a special anti graffiti paint and Susans name was eliminated. Although

some called the message a Schenectady landmark and a classic part of Schenectadys heritage,

the city felt that graffiti, no matter what the history, might promote more undesirable graffiti, and so the

story might have ended.

But three years later, Jack and Dennis McDonald saw a building for sale at the corner of Liberty Street andNorth Broadway, just steps from the wall. For many years they had dreamed of creating an Irish pub and this

property had real potential. It had interesting history, and with much imagination, they began to plan how

to make the dilapidated former print shop in to a special place in downtown Schenectady. They purchased a

building and created a new Schenectady landmark, a revitalization of historic property, and return of the lo-

cally famous reference to Susan being a pinhead.

They called their new pub Pinhead Susans.

On June 29, 2000 Pinhead Susans opened and the public got to see

the elegant transformation made by the McDonald brothers and

their many family and friends. The antique walnut bar with its

marble top and brass foot rails is the centerpiece of the main

bar room. There are hardwood floors and oak panelled walls to

provide a beautiful contrast to the rustic red brick wall with itsgraceful arches. The custom accent paint named Pinhead Red by the local

paint store was matched to the wallpaper which was selected as close to

the style found on scraps of ancient paper uncovered during the renova-

tion. Many large windows were installed to create an open, airy atmosphere

and antique style lighting added a final elegant touch. The building dates

back to 1852 originally a shop for carriage making but sometime after the

Civil War in the early 1870s it was converted to a hotel although not Irish but

German. Charlie Wienckes Hotel Germania served good beer and excellent

German food and was a popular spot for the young men from Union College.

The building remained a hotel for most of its years, well into the 1960s but

was most recently a print shop. The McDonald brothers have returned to the tradition to serving good food and

good beer from this location in Schenectady.

We hope you enjoy our Irish hospitality during your visit and will return again soon. As you look

around at our little corner of history, take a moment to recall the many patrons of the past who have raised a

glass of good cheer in the same place.
