History:
Graven Goods first opens its doors in the Spring of 1907. Following the 1906 quake many people died and their estates were often closed without heirs and with public auctions. One man - Maxamillian Graves saw an opportunity in this and established his shop in the Castro in a time when it was a multi ethnic working man's neighborhood. The fact that he sold the personal effects of the recently dead bothered no one and in addition to his legitimate business dealings he also did a flourishing trade in stolen goods - so long as they were taken off of corpses.
1934 -- Under New Management
