Notes:
John O'Doherty listed from 1866-1917.

The following is taken from the "Pittsburgh and Allegheny Illustrated Review: Historical, Biographical and Commercial". It was published by J M Elstner & Co., Pittsburgh, PA., in 1889:

O'Dohertv & Co., Limited. -Wholesale Dealers in Foreign and Domestic Wines and Liquors; 17 and 18 Water Street, Corner of Penn Avenue.
This prominent and old established wholesale liquor house was founded in 1866, and after passing through several hands was acquired by the firm of John O'Doherty & Co., the present company being formed in 1883. In 1880 Mr. John O'Doherty died, and the members of the firm now are Mr. Daniel P. O'Doherty and Annie O'Doherty.

The firm deal extensively at wholesale in foreign and domestic wines and liquors, old Monongahela and rectified whisky, etc., their specialties being their own brand of genuine pure nine-year old Fort Duquesne Whisky, and Finch's Golden Wedding, which has a widespread reputation and is in large demand. The building occupied by the firm for business purposes is one of the oldest landmarks in Pittsburgh, having been erected in 1810, and standing upon ground where in ante-Revolutionary times Forts Duquesne and Pitt stood. It is a substantial three-story brick structure, and is kept constantly filled with large stocks of superior wines and liquors. Throughout its history the reputation of the house has been of the highest character, and it now ranks among the largest and most important wholesale liquor concerns of Pittsburgh. Mr. Daniel P. O'Doherty has the entire management of the business, and is an affable, agreeable and energetic business man.
