Report
The Brick Row Book Shop is one of the oldest antiquarian book firms in the United States. That location, at High and Elm streets, has long since been demolished and in its place stands Yale's Stirling Library. The photograph to the left is of the ground floor of the shop in early 1916. The first director was Edmond Byrne Hackett, who remained at the head of the business until his death in 1953.
