Description
These records primarily include photographic materials, however, scant examples of correspondence, newspaper clippings, industry catalogs, trade journals and other sundry items such as blue prints, invoice sheets and cartoons exist. This collection, kept from 1894-1979, is sparse and lacking in many important details of the day-to-day operations of the Rudy Brothers Company. ., Well-known in Western and Central Pennsylvania in the early 20th century for their stained glass, the Rudy Brothers originally came to Pittsburgh in 1893 at the behest of H. J. Heinz, who commissioned stained glass windows for his factory and Point Breeze neighborhood residence. In 1894, the brothers, Frank, J. Horace, Jesse and Isaiah opened a shop in the city's East Liberty section. Their first location on Penn Avenue operated under a partnership between the Rudy's and Valdemar F. Reich. By 1895, Reich left the stained glass business, and the brothers moved their studio to the corner of Centre and Highland Avenues., Gift of the estate of Lorraine C. Rudy c/o Corestates Bank, N.A., Executor, Gift of The James A Michener Museum of Art
