Description
In this November 14, 1935, photograph, Otto Wiesen poses behind the counter at his 802 J Street jewelry store. After emigrating from Ulm, Germany, in 1909, Wiesen opened his first store at 501-and-a-half K Street, where, as the only employee, he manufactured, sold and repaired jewelry. Wiesen learned his trade in Ulm, in time specializing in diamonds, which he acquired through wholesalers in New York City. Soon after this photograph was taken, the business moved to a more modern location at 1024 Tenth Street.
