Henry S. Shryock (1808-1882) began his career as a maker of fine Classical furniture in Baltimore in the late 1830’s and evolved with Renaissance styled works dating as late as the 1870’s. Shryock’s son, William, was installed as partner 1852-1870, and the 1856 Baltimore city directory lists the workshop address as No. 6 South Calvert Street near the intersection of Baltimore Street.
Shyrock competed with other well known Baltimore cabiniet makers such as Robert Renwick and Oliver Merryman. Shryock’s firm was so successful he became prominent in the Baltimore business community as president of the Third National Bank and trustee for the Maryland Institute.
