Hello, I am wondering if anyone on this list would know anything about a business that existed at 77 7th Ave. in Long Island City around 1890 thru 1899 perhaps...the years could be off a bit...run by John J. Murphy and his sons, Thomas J., John and Peter. I once contacted a carriage museum in the area and they had no information of these carriage builders. Thomas was shown as a painter and a blacksmith at varying times...both professions being in line with titles of someone working on building carriages. John J. Murphy was listed in a directory as a "carriage builder" during the same period of time. I've lost all my bookmarks and can't remember the name of the museum either. I am most anxious to learn whether the Murphy men had their own business and what it's name might have been. I am assuming it was their business since they all lived at or around 77 7th Ave. and 88 8th Ave. John J. Murphy's daughter Anne married Joseph P. Adams who lived and worked nearby as well. If anyone has any resources to shed light on this family's activities during this time, I would be most grateful. I am hoping to learn the name of the business, and thereby eventually obtain pictures of it and possibly pictures of these ancestors. Thanks for your time, Joanie
