A HYMAN ESTABLISHMENT SINCE 1890
 
ON THIS BLOCK WAS THE WHOLESALE DISTRICT IN THE 1800'S. THERE WERE DRY GOODS, NOTIONS, SHOES, AND PAPER WHOLESALERS. IN 1890 W.M. KARESH, AN IMMIGRANT FROM RUSSIA AND POLAND, FOUNDED A DRY GOODS BUSINESS. THE BUILDINGS WERE ORIGINALLY 230 FT. DEEP. THE BUSINESS CONTINUED WITH HIS SON-IN-LAW HERMAN HYMAN. THE GREAT GRANDSONS, ELI & AARON HYMAN, OPENED AARON'S DELI, HYMAN'S SEAFOOD, AND HYMAN'S HALF SHELL IN 1988. THEY ARE CURRENTLY OPERATED BY ELI HYMAN IN THEIR ORIGINAL LOCATIONS.
