Duparquet, Huot & Moneuse, Company History:
"Duparquet, Huot & Moneuse was an American coppersmith that traces its history to 1852. The earliest address I could find was 24 & 26 Wooster Street, then 43 & 45 Wooster Street (my research confirms as early as 1889 to 1915). I first see the 110 W 22nd Street address in 1917, and I believe they used this location up until the firm was sold in 1937."
