FAMILIES: Levy

From 1894 to 1895, Polish immigrant Dora Levy (1859-1932), wife of Charleston clothing merchant Morris Levy (1849-1927), operated a clothing store at 414 King Street. Dora and Morris immigrated to the United States in 1882 and lived in New York until they moved to Charleston in the early 1890s. Around 1907, Dora and Morris moved their family to Baltimore, Maryland, where Dora worked as a dry goods salesperson and Morris as a stenographer. The couple resided in Baltimore for the remainder of their lives.
