Our History
More than a century of furnishing Galveston homes, one family at a time.
1907
David Goldhirsh arrives in New York as an immigrant. Six years later he moves to Galveston and goes to work at M. M. Bleich’s corner grocery store.
1920
With a loan from Mr. Bleich, David opens a family furniture store at 414 25th Street. His children, Simon and Frances, are its only other employees.
1941
The store moves to a three-story building at 2424 Market Street.
1946
Frances’s husband, Marvin J. Stein, joins the business, planning to “take care of the store for a week.” He stays for more than six decades.
1997
Jody Stein, son of Ben Jay Stein and the fourth generation, joins the family business.
2016
Ben Jay Stein retires from daily duties and hands the reins to Jody, who runs the store today with his wife, Kim.
