Founded in 1912 by Abe and Helen Ohringer, the Ohringer Home Furniture Company thrived for over 50 years.  Their faith and dedication to the community was reflected in Abe’s words at the Grand Opening: “Opening our new building at this particular time is, in a sense, an expression of our confidence in this nation, in the democratic way of life as we know it.” The country would be plunged into a world war only nine months later. The Ohringer Family’s commitment to the communities they traded in is shown by the numerous programs and promotions they offered through the hard times of two world wars. By helping families acquire the furniture they needed in lean times, they built a loyalty that the Ohringer’s enjoyed for many years thereafter. That same faith and commitment to the community is why The Ohringer is being renovated to once again become the centerpiece of the revival of Braddock, Pennsylvania.
