Editor's Note: I haven't driven to the hamlet this morning to verify, but based on the address above, it would be Steve Harrington's house. Steve is the kind-hearted fellow who runs the Erie Canal Fishing Derby in an effort to get more kids and families involved in fishing.
Update: I went to the hamlet today and it IS Steve's house.
