The story
In 1887, Rudolf Joseph Henne founded Henne Jewelers in East Liberty as a place where railroad workers could have their watches repaired and serviced. In 1934, Rudolf Gerard Henne inherited the store from his father and managed it through the Great Depression and Second World War until his son Jack took over. In 1978, Jack moved the store from its location in East Liberty to Walnut Street in Shadyside. The 4th generation of Henne's, John, Anne, and Meg moved the store to a larger location on Walnut Street and own and operate the business today.
