Record Group 7: Gayde Brothers

Finding Aid

 

 

Peter Gayde, an emigrant from Wuerttemberg Germany, started his cooper business in 1854. The cooper shop was located in the south wing of Peter’s home. Aside from building barrels, Gayde made display boxes for fruits and vegetables. This soon led to the sale of groceries, staples, woodenware, crockery, paints, oils, and hardware. By 1870, Gayde had established a store on Liberty St., called Peter Gayde’s Grocery and Provision.

 

Peter’s sons, jAlbert and Edward, became co-owners with their father. His son, William ventured out on his own. In 1895 William opened his butcher shop, just a few doors down from the Gayde Brothers Grocery Store (re-named after the death of their father). In addition to a variety of fresh & smoked meats, Gayde sold poultry and seafood, including oysters. In 1945, due to an illness, Albert Gayde closed the Gayde Bro’s Grocery, having been in business for 75 years. William Gayde’s Meat Market closed in 1946.
