History

For thirty-three years, this site served as the Home Furniture Company, under the ownership of Herman and Aaron Reznick. In 1938, elsewhere in Sykesville, the pair had originally opened a grocery store, expanding to furniture items during WWII. In 1948, the furniture business moved to this site and continued to operate until 1981.
