Houlihan Parnes, Realtors celebrates 125th Anniversary

White Plains, NY Houlihan Parnes, Realtors, LLC will be celebrating its 125th Anniversary this year. Founded in 1891 by Daniel Houlihan, an Irish immigrant, the company has always been family owned and operated and is proudly celebrating its 125th year of continuous operation. Spanning three centuries, the firm originally was founded as a carpentry and construction business which evolved into property ownership and development and many related commercial service businesses. The firm is currently managed by James Houlihan, who joined the firm in 1973 and became managing partner in 1987. The two other partners, James G. Houlihan and Howard Parnes are inactive due to health considerations at this time. Several members of the fifth generation of the Houlihan family have worked at Houlihan-Parnes Realtors for over the last few years and Bryan Houlihan, son of James J. Houlihan, currently works at the company. In addition, Jim’s brother-in-law, James K. Coleman and cousin, Jeremiah Houlihan and Howard Parnes’ nephews, Fred and Sheldon Stahl and their mother, Barbara have been with the company for many years. The firm will be celebrating its milestone throughout the year and would like to offer our congratulations to two other iconic New York City institutions,   Carnegie Hall and the New York Botanical Gardens, who are also celebrating their 125th Anniversaries.
