History |
Keogh was a millwork company operating in New York City in the late nineteenth century. It is best known today due to a catalog it produced in 1873 during a brief period when the company operated as a partnership named Keogh & Thorne.
Christopher B. Keogh began the Keogh firm circa 1868. He entered into a partnership under the name Keogh & Thorne that existed from 1872 until 1874. It operated out of a building located at 254-256 Canal Street in New York City. .
The company's 1873 catalog was published just as the partnership was coming to an end. The company had assumed the name "C.B. Keogh & Company", which remained in use until 1892 when it changed to "C.B. Keogh Manufacturing Company". The company rarely advertised in newspapers and apparently never issued an updated catalog, leaving a thin documentary trail. The firm's name last appears in the newspapers.com database in 1896. Christopher B. Keogh died in 1898, which may be when the business ceased to operate.
