About Theodore B. Starr (Excerpt from The Met):
In 1877, following his 13-year partnership with the German-born jeweler and silversmith Herman Marcus, Theodore B. Starr (1837–1907) established his own luxury goods store at 206 Fifth Avenue, near Madison Square, in a highly fashionable neighborhood. An article published in the New York Times on December 20, 1890, declared that “Starr’s establishment… has no duplicate in this country, and probably not in the world.”
