Julius Talmanson, who owned this home with his wife Fannie, was born in Russia around 1886 and came to the U.S. in 1910. He founded the Brookline Hardware Company, located at 204 Washington Street, around 1912. Fannie, who was 10 years younger, arrived in the U.S. in 1911. They were married around 1914, and had two sons and two daughters. The oldest son, Bernard, worked with his father at the hardware store. The second son, Morris (or Maurice), later owned and operated a hardware store in East Boston.
