WHY ARE WE CALLED GUNSTREET?
Gunstreet takes its name from a parable told by Sean's grandfather about Hugh O'Kane (1854-1930), a revered family friend from Bushmill, Ireland. This three-part parable emphasized hard work and drive, innovation over imitation, and standing up for one's beliefs.
The story of Hugh O'Kane begins at age twelve when he stowed away on a ship to New York. There, he supported himself by shining shoes and selling newspapers. His adventurous spirit led him to diverse experiences: he became a boxer in Cape Town, a gun smuggler in Cuba, and even a friend of Doc Holliday in Tombstone. Hugh's tireless work ethic and relentless drive were legendary; he rebuilt his grand hotels 3 times after they repeatedly burned down, each time stronger.
Hugh's extraordinary entrepreneurial drive led him to revolutionize the local economy. His continuously open saloon served as a self-contained hub, keeping patrons happy. But after his third saloon burned, Hugh, like he always did, innovated and built the O'Kane Building, an architectural marvel and the town's first reinforced concrete structure of its size. This sparked intense competition, which Sean's grandfather called a "Gun battle of innovation," leading local entrepreneurs to dub it "Gun Street," symbolizing the ethos of fierce competition.
Hugh O'Kane was also a dedicated community advocate. With his business partner, M.P. Cashman (Sean's great-grandfather) established a modern Hospital, built new schools, and created resources for struggling community members. They believed in shared well-being and opportunity, even standing up to the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s to defend community values.
The story emphasizes self-improvement and collective advancement, highlighting individuals' ability to shape a community positively, demonstrating that true prosperity lies in unity and the well-being of all its people, not a select few.
