Summary
The former Home of Potomac Furniture at 310 West Potomac Street is an apartment building today. This photo appears to have been taken in the early years of the business.
According to the "Images of America" book on Brunswick by Mary Rubin, a furniture store was first opened here in 1913 by Theodore Siehler, who owned the business until his death in 1981. His daughter, Joann Siehler Durst closed the store in 1984. George Bennett, whose wife Doris taught 5th grade at BES, was the longtime manager.
When the store opened, Polan Katz ran an umbrella factory on the second floor that employed 40 people.
For years, Brunswick families could buy brand-name furniture in Brunswick from Potomac Furniture here or from Harry Mace just a block away.
