Parents of Frederick Alms born 1839, died 1898

Frederick H. Alms, the namesake of Alms Place, is a well known name in Cincinnati. But other than his association with the former Alms & Doepke Department Store that he started with his brother and a cousin, and Alms Park, many may not know much about the man himself.

Frederick H. Alms was born in Cincinnati on February 26, 1839.

His parents, Gerhard & Louise, came to Cincinnati in 1834 from Germany. His father was a cabinet maker and prior to opening his own shop at Race & Liberty Streets in Over the Rhine, Gerhard worked in a number of Cincinnati furniture companies including Mitchell & Rammelsberg.

After graduation Frederick began his career in the retail business including working for a time in his uncle August Alms's dry goods store.
