Shapiro Hardware settles into the corner group for half a century while furriers and immigrant families fill the rest
Shapiro Hardware Co. was located in the corner group from 1930 through at least 1980, and many fur businesses took space here in the early and middle twentieth century, when the neighborhood was a center of the fur trade. The upper floors housed mostly European immigrants, and the LPC names families such as those of John Re (c.1915-35) and Nicholas Camera (c.1925-55). Economy Electrical Surplus Supply and the electrician Mack Ostrow also worked here around 1955-70.
