A proud supporter of the Brooklyn Bridge, Abraham dreamt of a downtown shopping experience that would go hand in hand with Manhattan’s grandest department stores. Abraham joined forces with the co-owner of R.H. Macy and Company, Isidor Straus, in 1893, to create a lavishly ornate department store which would transform downtown Brooklyn. Occupying an entire city block bordered by Fulton Street, Livingston Street, Hoyt Street, and Gallatin Place, the Abraham & Strauss department store was a glittering shopping experience that was the height of luxury and elegance. Brooklyn’s finest shoppers could pull into the store itself by horse and buggy through a porte cochere entrance on Livingston Street.

But the golden age of Abraham & Straus soon faded. Dying as opulently as they lived, Isidor Straus and his wife went down with the Titanic, while the area in general fell into decline. By the 1970s and 80s, Fulton Street gradually began to fall into decline and the venerable Abraham & Straus’ fortunes went with it. By 1995 the original name was dropped and the store was turned into a Macy’s.
