In 1887 Robert F. Mayer opened his art gallery at 404 Wood Street in Pittsburgh, PA.

In 1890 he moved the gallery to 18 Sixth Ave in downtown Pittsburgh.

One of his employees was the young August Wunderly.

In 1894 Robert Mayer sold his art gallery to August Wunderly and his brother Carl.

In the same year of 1894, August Wunderly moved the art gallery to 25 Sixth Ave and renamed it Wunderly Bros.

August Wunderly managed the art gallery until 1927 when his son took over. The Great Depression forced the gallery to a smaller building, but it survived the depression and WWII.
