Frederick Loeser & Co.

The original store was situated at 277 Fulton Street, roughly a block from Brooklyn Borough Hall.

[2] In 1870 the company opened a larger second store near the present-day intersection of Fulton Street and Boerum Place.

[4] In 1887, Scottish born Lace and fabric importer John Gibb entered into partnership with Frederick Loeser.

Following this, neighboring Brooklyn retailer A. I. Namm & Son purchased the trademark and goodwill of Frederick Loeser.

They continued to operate under the Namm Loeser name until 1957 when the business closed, a victim of the flight of its customer base to the suburbs.
