This treasure may, indeed, have come from John L. Sullivan
himself! While restoring the smaller barn - where Sullivan stayed on those nights he had too much to drink and wasn't
allowed in the Muldoon house - we found a jug marked Erie Distillery Company, Buffalo NY wedged between the floor boards
and the support beam. The bits of newspaper wrapped around the cork put the jug in the right time period!
Curcio Family Returns Original Muldoon Couch & Chair
The Curcio Family of Belfast recently
made a wonderful return to the Hall of Fame in memory of their daughter, Amanda. The original Muldoon-owned
couch and chair was removed from the barns years ago to preserve them from possible damage caused by a terribly leaky roof.
Now the barns have been restored, they have been returned.

in Muldoon's book case!
Found In The Walls!
During the restoration, this part of a shipping crate fell out of the wall
when we took the clapboards off. It is a shipping crate addressed to Mrs. Josephine Muldoon. Mrs. Josephine Muldoon was
William Muldoon's first wife, from whom he was divorced. Muldoon also had a niece named Josephine Muldoon, who was approximately
five years old at the time that Sullivan trained in Belfast.
