HistoryIn 1859, Julius Berkey opened a small shop on Erie Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which made doors, sash windows, and window blinds. In 1860, William A. Berkey established a blind, door and sash factory on Mill Street. In 1862, the Berkeys began producing goods for the wholesale trade.[2] In 1866, George W. Gay bought half interest in Berkey's concern, which became known as "Berkey Bros and Gay."[3] In 1873, William A. Berkey sold out his interest, and the company was incorporated later that same year as "Berkey and Gay Furniture".[2] In 1874, the new company opened their six-story factory, complete with wholesale and retail showrooms, in Grand Rapids.[3] The company is known for making Victorian furniture.[4] References1. ^{{NRISref|version=2009a}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}{{Michigan-NRHP-stub}}2. ^1 [https://www.justcollecting.com/miscellania/berkey-and-gay-furniture "Berkey and Gay Furniture", wikicolleting] 3. ^1 Berkey & Gay Furniture Co., "Company History" 4. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.journalnow.com/home_food/home_garden/home/kovels-less-known-furniture-makers-are-bargain-for-lovers-of/article_67d3fa95-91ad-52de-bb45-26d39080daae.html|title=Kovels: Less-known furniture makers are bargain for lovers of Victorian designs|last=Syndicate|first=Terry Kovel King Features|work=Winston-Salem Journal|access-date=2017-06-09|language=en}} 7 : Romanesque Revival architecture in Michigan|Industrial buildings completed in 1892|Buildings and structures in Grand Rapids, Michigan|Economy of Grand Rapids, Michigan|Manufacturing plants in the United States|Industrial buildings and structures on the National Register of Historic Places in Michigan|National Register of Historic Places in Kent County, Michigan |
