Glickman Studio was located at 37 West Merrick Road. It was owned by Samuel Glickman. The photography studio was opened in 1918 and was originally located at 13 Railroad Avenue. Later, Glickman Studio moved to 31 South Grove Street (now Guy Lombardo Avenue). This location was once occupied by another notable local photographer, Jacob D. Keifer. Between 1949 and 1950, Glickman Studio relocated to 37 West Merrick Road.
According to a 1984 Leader article, Samuel Glickman learned his trade as an apprentice in Germany and was the official photographer of the Czar’s Russian Army in 1905. Glickman worked for The New York Times and New York Herald Tribune. He was known for his ability to retouch faded and damaged photographs.
Glickman Studio went out of business in 2009.
