Arthur Simon "Dutch" FLEGENHEIMER "SCHULTZ"

Hotel Stratfield, constructed in 1909, located on Main Street

"...In 1935 the Prohibition-era gangster and bootlegger Dutch Schultz moved to the Stratfield Hotel across the street for several months after two trials for tax evasion in New York State. It is wondered if he was involved in the murder of two people in the second floor lobby of the Savoy during this period. A month after leaving Bridgeport Dutch Shultz was gunned down in Newark, New Jersey..." historicbuildingsct.com
