This was the private garden of Mr and Mrs Richard Welhelm, "The Glue King" Richard Wilheim, a man who had made between $18,000,000 and $25,000,000 out of glue. Few people outside of Gowanda had ever heard of him. Except for a few shares of preferred stocks, he owned Peter Cooper Corp. outright and that company made more animal glue(A $17,000,000 a year business) than all its competitors combined .
Now a Public Park area in Gowanda. Chang-Hue Park. Take time to smell the flowers.
